    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 wonder if he still has the FAT marked stock that it came with? The Italian returns that I purchased from the CMPicon for a little over $500, now sport nice, appropriate, original manufacturer stocks also...but I saved all the original Italian arsenal marked stocks to include with the carbines if I ever sold them. Somehow I don't think I could get $4,000 for them however 😁

    Italians until recently still had a few hundred M1icon Carbines which they recently sold. The majority of these rifles were in NOS condition, similar to the one from the auction. Probably half of them were lacking the bayonet lug/had the early band configuration, however NONE had the flip sights. I pictured one of these rifles here: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=72702 . It would not surprise me if these rifles soon will turn up for sale in the US, but then with import markings of course.

    One of the pictures looks like the receiver has had a Wrench on it.
    Then a complete refinish over the pitting.
    Over here someone will miss that barrel stamp and pay big $$ for a Mis-represented Carbine.
