    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 ...

    I have only ever seen these reported as a Lee Enfield No5 cleaning kit.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    That's a £140, easy money if you can get it.

    Going thru drawers looking for something else a few days back and ran across four of these. If I remember right I paid about $2 ea for these twenty years ago

    Looks like an ordinary No.5/Sterling smudge-gun one, without the 'crooks and nannies' brush or the oil bottle. Britishicon brushes are usually threaded female.

    I checked Peters book and it mentions cleaning kit for the L42A1 page 124 in the CES but the T has no such item apart from the standard issue pull thru & oiler. Thing is the L42 does not break down whats in the kit so I cannot call them out on the description and some may be sucked in by the mythical sniper kit making the rifle that much better, cannot help it if they pay that price just wish sellers would not b*llsh*t people. Thanks for all the replies chaps.

    The vendor would appear to have made the school-boy error of mistaking the substrate of the tin plated steel case for aluminium. If one was to analyse the material further by attempting to apply a magnet, I would suggest that the magnet would attach it's self to the case, as one would expect with tin plated steel. As far as I am aware there is no aluminium, known to man, that a magnet will attach it's self.

    Can't see the nylon bore brush but am wondering if it's the newer type like our MAG 50(C6) kit had, though our threads are longer. I also have had an adaptor for the older PH brushes during one of our famine periods, we bought "Outers" rods and had to use small adaptors threaded on both ends to put brushes on the rods. I still have one and can use military brushes on civilian rods. Still the kit ain't worth but a couple bucks...
    Regards, Jim

    I'm surprised that "SAS" wasn't included in the description.

    I recognise the seller. High aspirations with most of his average wares...
