    either/or question

    Hypothetical situation:
    While our Army is bogged down in pursuit of bad guys in Afgahnistan, the Mongolian Horde (or whatever Horde) has invaded the United Statesicon. You have fled the homestead with your family intact but without your cache of weapons. Your are at a close friend's domicile when word reaches you that a marauding patrol is within a mile of your location. You and your friend decide to defend your families against these raping, pillaging heathens. Your friend has only three weapons but lots of ammo for each (he began hording ammo after November 08). He has his favorite weapon, a dolled-up AR15 with all the bells and whistles and gives you the choice of the remaining arsenal ... a low number M1903 or a National Ordnance 03A3.
    Which one will you choose to defend hearth and home???

    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 ...

    I'd gamble on the low number 03, but that's just me.

    I would stick with the LN 03 - period. Lots of pastures around my house, and nice long shots in the open. In Catlin's "With the Help of God and a Few Marines", a Marine private tells of how he made 600 yard shot after shot and watched the Huns drop like a pinball machine (his reference). His rifle got so hot he had to slow down his rate of fire.

    Give me the LN. If it was good enough to win WWI, it is good enough for me.

    "...or whatever Horde..." It'll be The Great Snowbird Horde. Tell 'em the bar is open and you'll take their Loonies at par. Problem solved.
    The Southern Horde is just looking for work.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Low number 03, beats the POS Nat ord, hands down..
    i have a good stash, and like;y wouldnt need to touch any 03, or an AR variant, {i dont own one}
    nothing like my good ol, Remington 700 in .375H&H. kills 5 badguys with one round.
    and takes em at long range to boot.
