    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 ...

    CMPicon did that? Looks pretty close, pretty good. Bet it's TDC too. Many the gunsmith can't manage top dead center when push comes...

    I saw a lot of odd things when the CMPicon was selling the VFW/AL Krags. One that I saw in the rack was a 99 carbine that had a duffle cut under the band. Reason for that ?????

    Perhaps someone spliced a carbine stock tip with the barrel band retainer onto a cut down rifle stock? S&S sells the carbine stock end for that purpose.

    Nice and Honest CMPicon front-sight install: neat, workman like, attractive, and obviously not trying to fool future collectors.
