Just another 100 years.

Took my two Lithgow icon

1922 rifles to the range for a bit of a birthday celebration, an A prefix with original light barrel and a B prefix with H barrel and set up in target rifle configuration.

Five rounds each to sight in at 50yds,
A94553

B3780

Then a five round group at 100 yds.
A94553

B3780

....and to finish a 2 and 10 round stage at 500yds, the Light barrel and original sights put up a 45.3, the target setup put in a 47.5, both shot in blustery conditions.

Happy Centenary to them both......maybe I should have let my mother shoot them, she's going on 105 and still gives me a run with an air rifle.

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.

Unfair comparison open sights v peep sight with ring. Still very good shooting from both rifles as i would expect from you.

Good shooting

Excellent Muff! Well done to you and The Senior Ladies!

What sort of nose cap is that with the peep sight? Is the peep sight attached to the nose cap?

Beautiful rifles and happy birthday to them both!

Yeah Bruce, still have trouble with iron sights and my eyes are not getting any younger.
That's our old favorite load of 40 gn of AR2208(VARGET to you yanks) behind a 174 Sierra pill.

The front sight is a combination of PH target tunnel mated to modified front boss, a typical KIWI mod.
