    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 ...

    You just can't put a good rifle down and thats the truth of it.

    Once they took that damn Unertl off those rifles and put a decent optic on them there is nothing wrong with them. Built like a tractor and accurate, perfect!

    I'm guessing you refer to the one that would melt the reticle pattern in the hot sun?

    Yes, that one. Also the one with a BDC turret and fixed parallax adjustment. Not conducive to good accurate long distance shot placement........

    It was the world standard in the early 80's, not so much now.

    Those rifles with a Schmidt and Bender are fine and should be in every INF unit both reg and reserve.

    They are here, we own them (Free), and they work and are user resistant to damage.

    We first saw them in Gagetown in '93 and the sniper course had those problems in the summer sun...just what you wanted.

    Is the correct magazine on these rifles single stack or double stack?
