    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 ...

    Wow, that page format looks like the The U.S. Carbine Caliber .30 pages. Wonder if Bill is the author of that great site?

    Can I add ?
    There is a lot of I feel priceless information posted here by Mr Ricca that won't show up on the link above. 4 to 5 years worth.
    Might be worth adding a Foot Note to this......
    Or a link that can be sorted through.

    We are still working on updating the code on several Ricca pages, so more to follow.

    @Painter, your link to Bill's posts are not working

    @RAselkirk, Bill is a long-time member and contributor to the club. Some great research came from his endeavors.
