    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 ...

    Thanks

    Appreciate all the replies. They are still unaccounted for but ATF and local police notified. I doubt I'll ever get them back. If they were sold to an individual direct I can't see what the incentive to return them would be especially since they most likely knew they were buying stolen rifles.

    I know, I know, I'm Old School and out of touch, but mine is a 1911A1. If I need more than seven shots, I'm doing it wrong or I need to go fetch an M1icon.

    Never say never I've had one show up after 9 yeas in the wind. Haven't got it yet but I am "supposed" to get it back.

    We wrote up an M1icon that a guy got from an old fellow at a gun show who said he had it for 20 years and was selling it to buy his grandson a shotgun. When the buyer got it home, he checked with the local PD who ran it through NCIS... and it came back as stolen in Texas 25 years ago! He had to surrender it while Texas tried to contact the owner. After many months, they were unable to find her and the guy got the gun back.

    I see both HIT on the HotGunz stolen gun search.
    Wish you the best of luck getting them back.

    That's heartbreaking. I took a pic of the numbers on the screen and will definitely keep an eye out in my neck of the woods. Bastids!
    I have a lot more experience than expertise, still have both eyes and most of my fingers though.

    "he checked with the local PD who ran it through NCIS"

    I can't imagine that 99.999% of gun buyers/collectors would do that. I doubt I would, unless I had a good handle on the seller. If I had any doubt about the seller I just wouldn't buy the gun. I don't understand checking NICS AFTER a purchase.
