    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.

    More like 1906.
    Is the barrel dated 1941? Let’s see the rest of it!

    For some reason I was reading the serial number as 1million 549 thousand in stead of 1 hundred 54 thousand 9 hundred. So this is one of the don't shooters lol. It really sucks getting old.

    More pictures. The stock that it has on it is an a3 stock so I didn't bother taking pictures of it. I guess the original is long gone.

    Looks pretty good to me! I love the script font used for the serial numbers on the early 1903s.

    I've had my eyes out for an early one like this. I have a pretty deep stable of nice 1903 sporters and need a military one to go with it.
    Since I'm not much of a shooter these days (no time), a low number doesn't bother me.

    How much did you have to give for it, if you don't mind me asking.
