    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 ...

    At least some of those in the 2nd box appear to be for checking the accuracy of the chamber diameter and taper on Carbine barrels. - Bob

    Those last two are chamber gauges for the front, middle and rear of the chambers. They were used on barrels prior to mounting in the receivers. Chamber diameter is just as important as chamber length i.e. head space. The bottom one is for checking the throating of the chamber.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
