    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 ...

    Nice find Charlie! The "wear" on the rear sights looks amazingly consistent, don't you think? Also, looks like they're parting out their "knock off" Type I front bands, and asking about double what they used to go for. - Bob

    Not even a suggestion that they're not WW2. What's happened to that company?

    Noticed they are not calling them USGI just US M1icon. This is going to keep Sam-T in business forever!

    It's called GREED. Hey there are only so many original parts left in the world and the temptation to cash in can be just too great for some people. For them it's the fresh off the boat parts from China selling to unsuspecting new collects who do not know any better. Ah the old George method of selling carbine parts. Make sure you have plenty of each. It's really sad to see happening again and again.

    If they just called them what they are, they would probably sell more of them just at a lower price. What ever happened to "Truth in Advertising"?
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    It's lite though. Because lite wasn't a word until they invented it.
