    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 ...

    Pic #1 well having fired allot of H/Guns the trigger position of that piece what ever it is would be rather interesting I think the selection process for being issued to you was either index finger had to be 7" or more in length as the trigger sits above allot more that a normal H/G. Decent size bore on the barrel as well may have been a good handful when discharged. Invented by the same person that designed the Great Panjandrum Wheel..........in WWII

    Ron, to cite a well known supernatural idiom "Don't cross the streams!" I feel a can of worms has been opened and upended...

    The Martini conversion looks more like an M79 than an M79 does!

    I wonder if anybody involved in the Niblick program in the 1960's ever saw that and thought they could put a modern twist on it?
