    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 ...

    MP38/40's in the pile in the foreground.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    Lots and lots for sure, a bit of everything there...looks like much has been rendered to bit and pieces. Wonder if that was deliberate or just a byproduct of trying to clear a strange weapon from action? Got to admit that if I was doing the same thing at present, I wouldn't care about future collector feelings at all. Keeping them from being serviceable if they returned to enemy hands would be paramount to me.

    Lots of odd stuff there...
    Regards, Jim

    Well spotted....!

    Going to be a 1942 made gun then, and given the shirtless GI in the photo, maybe taken in Tunisia/North Africa in '43...?
