    I know they have quite a following but I attribute that to their cost and cheaper ammo. I find them unshootable. A friend owns one we took out and while he tried to use a charger to load it he took the end skin off his thumb...that looked like it hurt. I shot a few and gave it back. He didn't go much further. I would have owned an SVT 40 though if we didn't have such foolish magazine restrictions here. The cartridge is potent enough.

    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 actually enjoy shooting them. They are a piece of history and display the differences in military philosophy between the various nations. Collecting them is fun because there are enough variants to keep it interesting. With over 17 million 91/30's made, it is a fun challenge to find those that have some significance (like a 1930 rifle, one of the very first batch of 91/30s, or a 1936 round receiver, one of the very first to be switched from the hex receiver). The other fun thing is that they each have their own operational "personality" and weird quirks. When you get done shooting one, you remember it for a couple of days!

    I agree, they are butt-ugly but I find myself wishing I had picked up one when I could get it for about $89. That is a very nice specimen daveboy!
