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.

Good question. They didn't show a photo of the rear of the receiver so I have no idea who the manufacturer is.

I didn't know fire wood was so expensive these days......

It actually sold for $650 today. I guess someone really wanted it so hopefully they restore it back to it's original graceful form.

If the receiver and some of what’s inside are any good, $650 might not be a bad buy. Been watching the prices of barreled actions or good receivers lately? Nope….I am not the winner, or bidder for that matter, but if I were looking for some core-parts for a build….I might have been.

If I remember correctly, most of the RTI's (Ethiopian) went for 2-3 times that amount. - Bob
