    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.

    Wait for the CMPicon reply, we'll go from there.

    No record CMPicon back to 1996. I think this rifle would be late 1950's era. I can email pictures.

    CMPicon records are complete back to 1996, they do have DCM records from earlier years but are not complete. The year of the rifle has nothing to do with the CMP search.

    Yes lost incomplete records . The only thing it that was enlightening was it's not a recent return like the Greek ,Dane or later returns. The DoD ARMY records are not out there to. I have a nice $2500 rifle for sure. N.M. we're sold at at Camp Perry ,match teams etc. One cannot say it's one way or the other.

    Bedding looks like team bedding. I have two two stocks one bedded and one post-war DOS no bedding. Both can be used and both correct. More so the non bedded correct for type one. My Garandicon guru says looks like type 1 not type 11. Says unmarked sites right and no other N.M parts but barrel. Hand fitted and for accuracy to look like stock rifle. Says it looks like pre 1960 rifle. For $950 it was a steal. Offered me twice that. Gonna keep it. Thanks all. Over and out.

    So, you're convinced in your own mind but refuse to share pics so some of these guys can give you info? Why bother in the first place?

    He was convinced in his own mind before he ever asked the question. Thank goodness that he found a Garandicon expert to validate his belief contrary to every totally objective fact with which he was presented.
