    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 ...

    Sounds interesting, but only those registered on http://www.rossrifle.com can see what you are trying to link to.

    BTW, those wanting to register must email the site owner as due to spambots etc. he had to make registration purely manual.

    Some folks parted with copious good coin for commercial Ross rifles. And another person got a lot of books for fair money.

    Both fantastic rifles! I thought it curious that the slightly better condition of the 90% rifle brought it over $800 more than the other, which featured a rather rare and period-correct, Ross-specific Lyman, likely mounted from new. You could probably buy a new entry-level bolt gun off the rack for what that sight would fetch on the right day. Such are the vagaries of auctions.

    Perhaps the buyer didn't recognize the sight and thought it was a detraction? Superb rifles, but they can be made to blow back. I have the remains of one here to prove it.

    I don't put a lot of faith in the pronouncements of salesmen at the best of times, but when they're prefaced with "supposedly".....
