    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’ll compare them with the commercial ammo.

    Got her to the range twice already.
    Good, but not yet anything to brag about.
    I really must get some experience with the aperture sight again.
    Until now, after the Army time, I have shot aperture sights less than once a year.
    Will catch up now with this babe.

    Range day with the Winchesters.
    I’m quite happy...

    First 5 shots at 100 meters with the P14...
    Attachment 99869

    First 8 shots at 200 meters with the Model of 1917
    Attachment 99870

    Between the bulls eye and the smaller red dots it’s just 3”.
    I mixed things up a bit, because I could not interrupt the others every ten shots, but it’s been a very nice range day!

    Yesterday I brought the old warhorse out again.
    Same reload as Patrick suggested me. OAL 84,7, not .5 as written there.
    Low light due to stormy weather, so I needed three rounds to get to where the rifle naturally tends to.
    The highest was round no. 1, then the second highest was the second and the third was the nine at 11’o clock.
    After that, I had a really satisfying group.
    Did not last long, because it started pouring, so I stopped.
    But I’m really pleased that I’m starting to get used to the aperture sights!
