    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 ...

    These sights are darn small - the leaf even smaller. A small difference in the camera angle can make a big difference when looking at a part that size. Here are (2) pics of a "believed real" sight - the short leaf is offset from the pin by more than I would have expected. - Bob

    Carbine parts value depends on the maker and when it was made. There are several "types" too. Gunparts wants $28.75 for a 1st issue, repro 'L' rear sight, $20 for a complete, 'late issue', stamped, rear sight. $45.75 for a "middle issue", milled repro, sight. $52 for a milled, Type II without an aperture and $36.50 for a repro Milled Type II without an aperture.
    No apertures or 'flip' sights listed.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Unhappy

    I found this Rear Sight a long time ago and was always looking to see if I ever would come across another one with the L having the mark BR on it. Is this marking from Jasper Blackburn Co ?
    Thanks to Bob for letting me know there was one posted. I have never tried to sell it because I never knew if it was fake or not.

    larger outside diameter of peep

    Frank, your BR coded peep is just like mine, notice the larger outside diameter.

    So, are they original ?

    Robert, I have a couple Originals Flip Sights and I will look at the differences between them. I was told both that this one was Original and early iirc maybe later and a couple of people said it was fake but they still offered to buy it from me and say they could use it for Re-enactments. I have this Sight so I can take more picture and show it. I'm just a little busy at the moment. Let me know if you want to see all sides and the thickness compared to others.
