    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 ...

    This could be a real boon to restoring, resurrecting, and refurbishing a lot of rifles that would otherwise remain hack jobs. Their price list indicates "civilian" and "commercial" MII stocks as well as MkII target bridge.

    MY concern with this is the Ross factory cartouches being put on the stocks. I am all in favour of restoring sporterized rifles, but things like proof marks and factory marks are things which were applied at the time. It will be difficult, in years to come, to determine which rifles are original and which are restored if even markings are being duplicated. We have seen this happen with the Luger holsters and such which are reproduced for the "re-enactor" market but can have any maker mark or date applied one wishes; now these reproduction models are being distressed and sold with pistols to increase their value.

    Nice work! Would like to see more photos...

    It's just a basic website. So limited on pictures and pages that it can have.

    I've purchased a reproduction bayonet band and rear sling swivel from altadiver. They are high quality and I would certainly buy from again.
