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.

Thats a beautiful Ross Doug!

**Ovidio** · 06-08-2020 05:59 AM

Yes! And beautiful pictures too!

First place for beauty in my small collection; probably my 1929 No1MkIII* with blonde woodwork.
Closely followed by the 1918 SMLE 22 that still wears it's original, well oiled and beaten up wood work. The No8 Enfield trainers are also sweet.

I love the American stuff...but I’d have to say the French icon

1935A is one seriously sexy handgun.

**Ovidio** · 06-08-2020 08:13 AM

Sleek, beautiful, with my family name on it...
She's my choice.

Ovidio, that is one sweet piece of heirloom. Something to be admired everyday and twice on Sunday.

**Ovidio** · 06-08-2020 08:48 AM

Thank you Daan.
My Grandpa won it in 1932 at a shooting competition and it has been in our possession since then.
4 generations of Gentiloni have shot it until now. Looking forward to have it being shot for many more generations.
