    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 ...

    Item number for rifle is 50. Link still works. Huge Liquidation Auction should be Huge Liquidation Auction. Link still works for prior one. Thanks.

    The barrel is cut short (20"?) so that wouldn't be a good canidate for restoration to military configuration. The stock can be stretched. Action OK too. Has a M1901 sight.
    Otherwise it could be stripped & parts sold on Ebay if the price was right.

    If that is a M1899 carbine with a 22-inch barrel (proper front sight and crown), and the M1901 sight has the proper "C" markings, the only thing wrong is the cut-down rifle barrel.
    Replacing the stock will cost approximately $300, M1899 carbines go for $1000-$1200, sometimes more.
    M1901 Carbine sights can cost $200 or so, so if the sight is wrong, figure that in.

    The sight ladder is broken, so it's going to need a new one, carbine or otherwise.

    You have a good eye! The sight was broken. It did have a flip sight at it's base. I do not know if the flip was original.

    Best thing about it was a beautiful 1891 cartouche and the action. Went for $350.00!!!
