    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 ...

    Whatever it was, it's too far gone. Use it as a beater utility knife.

    Can you provide the inside diameter of the muzzle ring please and also the overall length of the bayonet and the blade length, and between my Janzen's Notebook and Watt's and White Bayonet Book we should be able to figure it out for you. Off the top of my head the numbering and the style does look very Finnishicon.

    Looking at it more closely, not Finnishicon. Muzzle ring is too short. Condition moves it into the Turkishicon ballpark now. They are often scrubbed with few markings and use the short muzzle ring.

    Appears to have had the quillion cut down. Someone did not like the hook.
    Have a Bowie I did this with. Gets caught on branches and clothes.
