    I too have a penchant for the early carbines.

    When these came to me, Bubba had been at them and they were all sportered, some pretty sad. Throw enough time and money at something, it can be restored!

    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 ...

    Well, when I say that I made the nose caps, I actually had them made for me and I just took the raw machined pieces and finished them up. Credit must go to the master machinist and the full blown commercial machine shop.

    Chance would have it, I found a clever lad who can make just about anything if he has a sample to copy.
    The programs have been saved. The CNC mill can spit them out to order.

    The barrel bands on the carbines are actually long Lee rifle bands that I reforged to remove the shoulders and draw them out a bit for them to be reformed as carbine bands.

    New made ones are in the works.
