    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It is real. It is a nice Indian No4MkI/2(t).

    It has had the forend replaced. But trust me, that is a good thing...

    I recently bought an ex-Indian Long Branch No.4 (T) here in the US. It lacked import markings, I wonder if yours lacks them as well?

    I saw the original eGun listing at € 3200. Would you mind letting me know how much you ended up paying for this rifle? The scope/mount combo of this rifle was the best of it, maybe worth more than the rifle itself. Rifle serial is A 0083 T (Indians gave them new serials). If I'm not mistaken the bracket comes off rifle 33471, but please confirm this once you have received the rifle. Funny detail on this rifle, it seems to have had the T stamped at least for a total of three times on the receiver on the same place.

    Edit:

    You are aware this rifle is NOT in the US, are you? I've had a few of the Indian No. 4 T in the past. They all had Belgian firing proofs, so I suspect they came to Europe via Belgiumicon. No importer mark was present, but maybe laws in Belgium are/were different?
