    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 ...

    Not that I know anything about Germanicon girls, but aren't you looking at the wrong places?

    It's not where you look, it's what you see. Some things can't be "un-seen".

    I was looking over some of the ranger rifles a few years back, they were pretty sad looking specimens for the most part. Many were mismatched, bedding was worn out, bores were rough. There were a very few nice ones, but they were suffering from a lack of maintenance.

    Strange, I mentioned that was was burned in effigy...yet I stand by it. Few actually took care, some outright abused theirs.

    It is true, one of my friends joined and his issue rifle was a wreck. Bolt was mismatched, and a quick check showed it was only locking on the solid rib. The bore was hopeless. He requested a replacement, and when it arrived, he regretted complaining about the first one.... Lots of them would make pretty nice rifles with a lot of TLC, some only needed a good cleaning. A few were well looked after. I recall that they all had C1 slings. Never understood that thing! The L-E sling was a masterpiece of simplicity, durability, and easy to use. The C1 sling is flimsy and hard to adjust quickly. Anyhow, I always felt that the government should have spent more time teaching firearms maintenance, it broke my heart to see such valuable rifles deteriorate into scrap.
