    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 ...

    Sharps

    Nice presentation showing the manufacture of the new Shiloh Sharps rifles, my friend just ordered a barrel and action from them in 50-95 cal, he plans to re-stock it himself.

    I always liked the original Sharps Borchardt action, very advanced for the period of introduction and used by the old custom gunsmiths to build target rifles during the 1890 to 1920 period. The Borchardt got a second life during the late 1930's to 1950's when the old target rifles were redone into long range varmint rifles chambering the 22-3000 G&H, 219 Wasp and 25 Kragicon. A lot of really nice old off-hand target rifles were converted and lost much of their value.

    I found this photo of a old Borchardt off hand target rifle with a very unusual arrangement for the set triggers, these are not common to find.Attachment 99113
