    ShtLE Mk.V

    Hello. While I've been away from collecting (and the forum(s)) for some time I have not been entirely idle. I was fortunate enough to pick up a ShtLE V two summers ago at an estate auction. (shamelessly gratuitous pics)

    Had a good day at another estate auction his past week. No pics yet of two No.4's.

    Cheers,

    MM

    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 ...

    Thanks, Jim. I believe the rifle to be correct. No piling swivel, but the bluing on that band screw is unmarred where the swivel would have ridden. I think the wood was lightly sanded a long time ago. '50's or '60's. The fellow was in his 90's when he passed away. Most everything in the collection predated the mid 70's. (I also picked up a pristine duffle-cut 1907-15 Berthier long rifle.) No import markings on the Mk.V. The butt was heavily sanded (and bantam) with a 1956 silver Washington quarter glued in the disc recess. I had a 1954 Enfield butt stock on the shelf with appropriate color and wear and that is what is currently on the rifle.

    Nice, nice, nice...good catch. Last one I had a chance at was $800CDN back in about '76 and the bore was a sewer pipe. Outside wasn't great either. This one looks to have matching parts and pretty good overall finish.
    Regards, Jim
