    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Given that Saginaw Grand Rapids only made 7 of the 60 some parts, including the receiver, it's unlikely. Especially as Carbine sights didn't come like that. No dovetails on 'em. Don't think that is a Carbine sight.
    Saginaw Grand Rapids stamped a number between 2 and 7 on the left side of the front sight to signify blade height too.

    RG would be the Sub Contractor that made some of the Rear Flip Sights for S'G'.
    This IS an example of one,
    Question is:
    Is it Real or a Reproduction ?
    Someone is getting ready to drop over $230 + for THIS EXAMPLE.
