    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 ...

    A very fine job, most impressive!

    Remarkable work, well done! You do realise we'll expect a range report soon?

    Super cool! I really like the flame like pattern of the wood you did.


    Any plans to get an original .276 caliber barrel done too?

    Thank you guys.

    dman69, unfortunately i do not have plans to go to the range soon... it's complicated, to say the least.

    That's the grain pattern i ended up and it was totally by accident.
    In fact i didn't want any fancy wood grain and i spent a couple of hours at the wood store picking out wood blanks out of the pile, that had a straight linear grain.... or so i thought.
    Once the blocks of wood were cut to size and latter once they were carved i saw some fancy ''waves'' but hoped the stain would make them disappeared.
    The original portion of the P13 stock had ''normal'' grain so that's what i wanted for the splice too.
    But it was so much work fabricating it that there was no way i was going to start over again.

    And no, for the moment and near future i do not have plans to have a .276 caliber barrel done.
    Recent events would not permit it, or anything of that magnitude.
