    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    No, they did modify standard No.4's for the old Service Rifle B competitions, which is what this one looks to have been done for?
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    That would be AGP for AG Parker on the muzzle. Ball Burnishing has been discussed elsewhere

    Thousands of them.

    Very nice rifle, with a very late production receiver. Should be very accurate if set up properly.

    Where did you find it, in N.Y. or overseas?

    Parker-Hale were also issued with a block of serial numbers to use on their No.4 SR"b" rifles, my own is dated 1949 yet bears a serial number from around 1952~53.
    I've now seen 4 or 5 of these with a number range within 10 or so of my rifle.
