    Type 30 rifles

    How often do type 30 rifles pop up on the collector market and what are some possible prices for examples in good condition? Good meaning most of the finish still present and the stock not being terribly banged up.

    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).

    Not unless I absolutely have to. I know they are complex.

    They are obviously not nearly as common as 38's or 99's. Those you can get at any gun show pretty easily. 30's tend to show up at auctions and gun shops more than shows and it may take months before you spot one. Prices can vary obviously but in general they seem to go for about the same as a similar condition 38 or 99, maybe a little more but they don't tend to break the bank. They are less common but not as sought after so it balances out the price a bit. Quite a few were converted to blank firing smooth bores so be wary of that when looking them over.
