    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 ...

    If someone installed a 7mm Venezuelan barrel on an Egyptian rifle, I would give it a really good inspection before shooting it Could be just fine, but who knows who did it, and how well was it done. Headspace is the first thing that comes to mind.
    US$800 for this rifle?

    SARCO was at one time selling "new" 7,92x57mm barrels and some other calibers have surfaced from time to time, Now most US military rifle barrels (1903 and m1 rifle) when new are
    "short" chambered and require finial fitting
