    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 for posting the results, OWS sold them pretty quick after their listing.

    FRF2 purchase

    I was on the edge when the rifles first were offered but put a hold on the idea when it was id'd the mounts were not included like the ad said they were. Navy Arms/OWS said they were coming but after many months, outsourced a commercial copy that bears little resemblance to the originals. Bad form.

    I was going to bid on the GB example but when a mount costs between $5-700, and a scope is $$, it was too much for my piggy bank.
