    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 ...

    Very nice. Maybe we can mate them and split the pups?

    1116 & 1117 I wonder if they ended up together at the same trials.

    This one was sold through Weller & Dufty circa 1981, the chap I acquired it from has had it since 1985, still have the original 1985 invoice for £275

    "R101": not on an airship was it?

    "BD" for "Balloon Department"?

    There was such a department from the Victorian Era to WWI at least from a little cursory googling...

    Wouldn't be a bad place to issue a limited number of rifles unlikely to be used much!

    There was one for sale in the UKicon which had a .303 caliber barrel - is this the one? Or is yours still in original .276 caliber?

    No it isn't that one.

    This one is all original & in .276, it still has the 1981 Proof Exemption Certificate because Ammunition was not available

    Very nice grouping to be sure. I've never ran across one of these in all my years. To see 4 of them in one photo is stunning.
