    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 ...

    It is a Doug Fir log the figure heads are being made from Cedar. I have been working on it since March. Rocks well right now but i have to flatten the bottom slightly to slow the chime alittle.

    I have your stocks twin. So far, it has proved to be impossible to find matching handguards.

    Mine needed to be stripped to find the grain, but did not have as much finish on it as yours.

    First picture is dry, second is wet with water.

    Nice piece. The only new birch I ever had was a full set from Numrich in the '80s that was matching and orange. Nice but orange. Clear and clean and orange.
