Iron sights. Trigger is going to be tough to tame but I was pleased. Until a broken case sent me home early.

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.

LOL! Obviously great minds think alike! I had my P14 at the range today too. Not going to post the target pics because it definitely didn't like the 150 grain LeHighs I was feeding it today. Back to SMK's I guess.

Damned .303… I love it, but those broken cases make me mad. Very bad with the Smelly. A bit better with the no. 4 and much better with the P14. But still a PITA…
I’ll take a picture of a 90% broken case in my no. 4 a few weeks ago. Just a tad more and… game over.

One of those things, you simply have to carry a broken shell extractor.

That will guarantee that the next case sufficiently jams against the broken one and removes it for you. If you don't have the broken shell extractor handy, you'll never get lucky getting it out with the next round.

Sometimes, many have just fallen out by raising the muzzle. The broken case tool is a necessity.

**Ovidio** · 08-14-2023 04:33 AM

I’ve been told that a few times, but it never happened to me.
That’s why I have the broken shell extractor.
But I happen to forget it sometimes…

The rogue round… and his siblings.
