    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.

    Dunno if you'll find a verifiable W.W. II vintage base, but the Redfield bridge base is still made and sold by Redfield.
    There's this on Gunbroker too. (The guy doesn't know how to spell. PARKARIZED isn't spelt like that. snicker.)

    Think 165 grain hunting bullets with IMR4064 for deer.

    That's not a bad looking base and rings ( but a little pricey ). I haven't seen the real thing for sale in a long time.

    The correct name for the scope base is "Redfield Jr" mount, as the seller Sunray linked to has stated.

    You may want to NOT buy a current Commercial Redfield 03A3 mount - I have bought both originals made in USAicon in the 50's and 60's by the old Denver Colorado Redfield Company and the newer Chinese made Redfields - and the originals have a slight necessary "twist" that let's them lay down flat on the receiver ring. Used Redfields for 03A3s pop up and these will fit correctly - until you can find a US GI.

    The current Commercial Redfields (at least those from five years ago) DO NOT lie flat - and my gunsmith had to use a large dead blow hammer to "fit" one to my 03A3 receiver. I ultimately ended up finding an original GI NOS Lyman (used for 03A4 Rebuilds post-WWII) in the wrapper and, since I also am using a post war rebuild A4 stock on my 03A4Forgery, it drops right on. Everything except my receiver is real 03A4 - except I went with a Lyman Alaskan - much better than the Weaver scope, and also used on Armory Rebuilds. CC
