    A G Parker & Parker Hale used to convert standard .303 rifles to .22, also Webley & Enfield Service Rifles.

    Look for their old catalogues and you will see these rifle advertised.

    Great fun to shoot, especially with the restricted access to full bore military ranges these days

    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 ...

    I am trying to get some more background about the rifle. It has a very good bore. The stock looks to have been replaced at some point. Overall its in very good condition.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Does that mean it has a Parker Hiscock magazine???

    The standard SMLE magazine has the platform and spring removed and serves to collect the used .22 cases. They are often stamped .22 on the side.
