    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Paul: Let me the first to congratulate you on your most excellent display.
    I have an item that would fit right in and is not on the table but pictures via private email.
    An excellent job and I know the work involved in doing a display.
    A chum and I used to do a 5 table display at the local show, however the club got a bit greedy and wanted full table rental for the ONLY display at the show.
    Chum was a member of that particular club so he just told them where they could go.

    Yep! A good display. The No 8 is a very nice example. Most of them here are pretty good but that one is better than most.

    Great display, Paul!
    I miss the Novi MAAC show, I used to live 5 minutes down the road in Northville. Ive found quite a few Enfields etc. over the years.
