    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 ...

    LOL. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a shill running the price up.

    It is pretty and it seems like the new breed of buyers like em that way. I've always thought there was too much wow factor in IP's and M1A1icon's too. If one wants either of those then they will have to pay up for sure, but at what point does realistic bidding end and silliness, stupidity and unethical behavior begin?

    According to WB comes home, IP did not receive any Rock-Ola barrels till Feb. 1943. They only got 50 in all of 1942 so none dated 1-43. The front sight is not number stamped too. It is stamped IPN but it doesn't look right. The stock and stampings. It does look new one could call it that and not just oiled as the sell stated. The I cut doesn't seem right or is it me? It seems to be tilted to the left at the top. The hammer spring is a later one being 26 coils. So much not right with this but unbelievable money. Maybe I should sell mine at this rate and nothing on it is fake.

    In feb barrels received from rockola were probably 1-43 or 12-42. The real question was it a real rockola Barrel Be interesting to see what the forum detectives find wrong
