    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 ...

    Can you give us details, please.

    Barrel date?
    Star gauge?
    Polished rails?
    EP'd bolt?
    Barrel lot code?
    Bolt steel lot code?
    Proof test cartouche on stock?
    Steel shot gun plate under rubber pad cover?

    I know, I have a lot of questions.

    Sadly, it had to be photographed thru the glass case. I was lucky that even the serial no. was visible.

    This Springfield was presented to them by the US team of the 1908 Olympics. Try as I might I could not angle myself to see the serial.

    Wow. Though still in .30-'03, the rod bayonet had already been abandoned for the 1905 bayonet lug. This rifle fits into a very narrow window of Springfield M1903 progression.

    Yes, a very, very nice piece. Bet the barrel is about perfect, probably as good as the rest. A very valuable rifle.
