It needed that. Much nicer looking rifle.

Great work!

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.

Thanks, Jim,

Glad you are out there ! Could read the cartouche but doesn't really show - bubba had sanded. Shows 1901.

Have you shot this one yet Kab? Just wondering about the modified front sight. Probably shoots fine, that's usually why they were done.

**kablair** · 10-02-2022 10:29 AM

Jim, not yet. Just finished the refinish. Looking forward to it as soon as health will allow. I don't reload and ammo as you know is like gold - if you can find it. My son likes this picture better - he did most of the work.

That's too bad. I have a set of dies with a trim die I'd send you to get at it...only one round of brass in there though. Reloading components are hard to get here as well as some cartridges.

I used my Krag icon

rifle at The Western Games a few years back. Lots of odd stares and curious folks. The rifle ran just fine no hiccups at all. Rapid string was different with the rapid re-load. I load 45 grains of 4831 with and high-end 168gr bullet. Easy recoil and a fun day, even if it was hot at Phoenix. Just bring plenty of cold water and enjoy.
