    HRA stock question

    When did HRA switch from 3/8 inch DAS to 1/2 inch DAS? I know this has been covered before but at 64,I sometimes suffer from CRS!!

    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.

    According to Wayne Bradford the 1/2 " DAS became predominate in the 5.60 range.

    Pretty good website below for cartouches:

    http://www.trfindley.com/pgsnstmpsm1.html

    Scroll down to the HRA section and according to this website:

    S/N 4,661,000 to 5,609,000
    Department of Defense Acceptance Stamp, 3/8" by 3/8" on left side of stock. The other stamp used was the circle 'P' proof mark, without serifs.

    __________________________________________________ _______

    S/N 5,561,000 to end of production
    Department of Defense Acceptance Stamp, 1/2" by 1/2" on left side of stock. The other stamp used was the circle 'P' proof mark, without serifs.


    Hope that helps nail it down...
