    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 finally have her finished. I rust blued all the metal parts. It was time consuming, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! The only thing that's missing is the extractor spring (I broke it when I tried to install). As soon as the new one arrives I'll try her out. Headspace passed with a field gauge - I'm wondering if I should invest in go / no-go gauges.
    I realize building them this way is more expensive than buying a completed rifle, but I learned a lot doing it this way and I found it quite rewarding.
    Next project is an Arisakaicon series 20.

    If its a 308 as appears by the mag there was something one of the guru's here pointed out with regards to the max weight projie and loading to be used in the MKIII conversion. May have been Bruce From Oz posted something about it with the MKIII Ishie's. Perhaps the OP of that information may chime in as I think the No.4 action is a bit stronger than the MkIII and can handle the higher pressure of the NATO cartridge but its still pretty high for the action.
    Very nice build by the way a range report of course......

    A great job. Done a couple rebuilds myself, a krag and two ‘03s, mostly stockwork. Nice looking rifle.

    Beautiful, very nice work. I wish mine looked that nice but if it did I probably wouldn't use it. They didn't look that nice when they left the Ishapore factory!
