    A. O. Niedner custom Model 1903 in 22 rim fire

    Found these photos from an old auction site, very interesting conversion of the Model 1903 rifle to 22 rim fire by well known gunsmith A.O. Niedner (1863-1954). This must have been one of the first conversions done to the 1903 and it was done before Niedner moved to Dowagiac Mich in 1920. Niedner lived on the east coast and started as a full time gunsmith in 1906, he was quite well known and retired in 1940.Attachment 110777Attachment 110778Attachment 110779

    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.
