    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 agree with the others on the floor lamp for threading. I've run into a few rifle floor lamps lately. You can get one of the lamp pipes that are standard 1/8-IP threaded for less than a buck at the Home Depot, might be worth picking one up or taking apart one of your wife's lamps to test the theory.

    Was there a buttplate? are there screw holes in it or in the wood under the plate. They would have had to secure it somehow

    Found an interesting little mark on it. A serif '2' inside a rounded triangle. Looked for examples/pics of other '37 Izhevsks with this mark online..can't find a one. Anyone ever see this one before?

    What about it being a lamp in its previous life, did you ever try to thread a light fixture on the top to see if that was why the inside of the barrel was threaded? It doesn't surprise me that it still works though lol, mosins are built like tanks. Was it still fairly accurate since the inside muzzle is threaded? I just love the look of that rifle.
