    Agreed, they shoot mild and I enjoyed doing 200 offhand with my Italianicon carbine (short rifle).

    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 ...

    Conversion is the only real way for anyone to enjoy shooting these rifles. My Grandson really likes this one. In this photo he's learning the correct sight picture before shooting a dozen rounds.

    That is so awesome. Nice gun and your grandson looks proud to be holding it.

    Found brass for it at Buffalo Arms. $1.41 if you buy 100. Probably can't get it sent to Canadaicon though. Will have to see if they ship to Canada.

    Why not send Brian Dickicon a PM and see what he says. He's a dealer at BDLicon Ltd and in the US, can tell you any ins or outs to do if they won't ship... His advice will be sound.
