    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 ...

    I contacted him last year about making me some caps for my 1903a-faux. He responded to my questions for a couple emails, but when I went to actually order he stopped responding.

    I had the same thing. Wanted to order a few scope lense caps, spoke about the detail & leather colour etc, then stopped responding.

    I just presumed he was having some issues, as we all do, from time to time so left it with him.

    Hope he's still in business as its a good resource for these missing or worn out accessories for our classic rifles
    Regards Simon

    Not looking like the website hasn't been touched for over a year as still showing the photobucket logos after the hassle with all the accounts, so I'm inclined to think he's no longer in business.........although, you would think if so, the website would be updated to say so?

    Shame if so, as I was also going to be in the market for a set of scope lens caps and a sling soon.

    I had some dealings with him regarding a shotgun probably six or seven years ago, and came to the conclusion that his communication skills were somewhat lacking.

    Sounds like nothing has changed.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Jon made superb scope cap covers for my 1903A4.

    I do hope he hasn't packed up...

    Jon has done some awesome work for me over the years. He certainly has the knowledge and skill. Know folks get busy with our ventures from time to time. Like him to do some more work for me. What is the most recent contact anybody has had with him?

    Would not go near that thief. He corresponded with me and took my money for several items in one order. I have never received the goods or seen my money back. Chased and chased the maggot and I’ve just been blanked.

    I exchanged emails with him back in 2015/2016, his communication was excellent, up to me sending off the item I requested to be repaired. Then nothing! I called him on his mobile, send a number of emails, still nothing.
    In the end got in contact with the horse riding group, who put me in contact with an excellent person. Never did hear from mr Moore after that, I assumed he had been taken I’ll or had passed on!
