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.

Thanks for the comments guys. I will get some pics of the internal parts when I get some time to take it apart. I had it apart once when I acquired it 6 years ago. It hadn't been apart in a long time, it was kind of stuck together . Now that I figured the pics thing out I will put the next ones all in one post. Thanks again to the guys that helped.

That's a fantastic looking Rock-Ola! Sure looks original to me. Congrats, and thanks for sharing. I hope I'm fortunate enough to run across one like that some day.
