    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 ...

    Awesome pic!!!!
    I had the privilege of shaking that man's hands several times while shooting at the CMPicon Western Games M1icon Garand match!
    The last time I asked him for a hand shake, He said "Hell give me a man hug"

    Shot the western games in 2011 and had hoped to meet him. I don't think he competed that year. Seems like a common sentiment of being a friendly, approachable, and genuine person.

    He was all of the above. A True gentleman. Always looking for a good cigar!
