    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 received an Italianicon made set from Numrich (Gun Parts Corp) in April 2019. Decent looking - should not be "mistaken" for the original military finish, etc. It was drilled for the lower band retaining pin, but no pin was installed. It was drilled for the upper band cross screw - seemed to fit perfectly. No threaded brass pin between the trigger mortice and the magazine mortice. I assembled a Winchester M1917 into it - all milsurp parts just fell into place - do not recall any shaving or adjustment required. I am still "hem and haw" regarding that threaded cross pin, whether needed or not - I have not fired that rifle yet. I have not yet attempted to set the bedding, to put up pressure at the muzzle end.

    I fit a 1903 minelli stock a few months ago. the inletting was good, but the outside was very fat in the forearm and the wrist. The exterior width around the action was pretty good. The lower band screw would not go in out-of-the box. I had to re-profile the exterior.

    May I ask, did you buy only the stock or also the handguard(s)?

    Yes, I ended up with the stock, and then both a front and a rear handguard.
