    My Carbine with flip sights.

    You don't see them all that often but every time I hear someone mention their Carbine having 'flip sights' I always think of this one. It's good stuff.

    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 ...

    Wow! Look at the difference in the aperture size. Which one has the better sight picture? Also, the 300 yard leaf on the right looks a little shorter. Maybe it's for carbines that shoot a little high.

    They're just drifted right a little bit to split the accuracy. I love a Carbine with flip sights.

    I believe these were used by REMF's. Never knew when they'd have to scare away a dog after having had a snoot full.

    Maybe useful for those who shoot with both eyes open.
    My Father shot that way. Just made me feel crossed eyed and a little dizzy.

    I know what REMF's means but also heard it referred to as Rear Entry M F ers by a Vietnam vet I worked with who was a mailman over there. Part of The Walking Dead, which I believe was 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Reg, 2nd Marine Div (?). He said everyone liked the Mailman! And was happy to have that job after his first year seeing heavy action. His favorite memory was in Bang Cock as he spelled it. Upon R&R return, off for the needed shots. Just seen him yesterday, many tough memories of friends being killed by 'friendly villagers'.

    Yup! for a cross-eyed shooter who shot with both eyes open!
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Could have used that on the farm the other day. Bessie gave birth to a two headed calf.
