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.

Yes, I did, I read it whilst waiting for my wife - she had sent me a text saying she was in Casualty! I'd raced home and just caught the start of it, watched the whole episode with great concentration and she didn’t appear once, Not Once! She’s still not home, and I’m now very hungry!

You'll never get to heaven y'know Peter, although I don't suppose you mind that!

I honestly don't know my Enfields that well. MK2 was what the shop had on the tag. What's the difference between a MK2 and MK3?

Absolutely not Brian. Only that all the .410's i have had that are dated post 1948 have accepted the 3" shells.

Springfield Sporters had tons of them. I think they were $79 or so back in the 80's and 90's. I still have one i kept. A conversion of a nice 1944 dated RFI rifle and reamed for 3" shells.
