I want to thank the many forum members here who helped me with this project over the years. Without your help this wouldn’t have been possible.

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.

do you know yet if it was Bill V's?

**Vincent** · 07-02-2018 04:17 PM

It was put together from mostly C1 parts. There’s a Sterling bit and the receiver is US made.

Very nice indeed Vincent, really well done!
How does she shoot? Semi only or rock and roll ?

Thank you. It's rock and roll. Just got it yesterday and haven't had a chance to shoot it. Maybe over the 4th holiday.

Thanks, Jim.

Oh yeah, we'll warm'er up for sure. I did pick up 1000 rounds just for this. Not sure if I can shoot'em all at once.

To me the differences between the C1 SMG and the L2A3 are interesting. The trigger mechanism is fascinating. It took a brilliant mind to invent it.

As we have come to expect from you Vincent, it's another excellent rebuild, very envious!

I look forward to your range report on how she sings.

Yes, I had an L2A3 back a while too and looked closely. It was simple, ours was far more rudimentary, simple bolt, stamped concept. Mags specially...but they worked fine. Yes, trigger mech was uglier too than L2A3.
