    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 know what it is....... but what is it meant to show? A curved mag converted to Stem configuration? Better just convert an ultra reliable two stack feed Sterling magazine as shown in the book.

    It's for 7.62x25 high capacity. But it was equally just a project, seeing if it'd work.

    That’s the type of mag I was told would have been used on my STEN but someone else has told me they think the version with the standard mag well used a standard mag with the rib cut out of the back and a flat plate welded in its place. I’m not sure how the follower would have looked though. Anyone got an odd looking sten mag with no rib??

    The Wise Lite Arms converted Sten mags work well. Back when Tok was cheap I used them a lot. Now 9 is cheaper than Tok and the WLA converted mags work just fine with it.
