    Early "Lightweight" Remington Rand and Colts

    I suspect this one was built in early 1943, based on the parts. It's a little different than other cutaways I've got. It came from Remington Rand and I suspect it was used to help train workers and/or inspectors. It's shown in Mr. Clawson's 1st book on page 316, just in B/W.




    Here is another shown in Clawson's book on page 305. It reportedly came from a museum years ago, but I don't know that is factual. That's what the former owner was told when he purchased it years ago.




    I guess someone thought they needed to tag it not to be used with live ammo.

    This one came from Ft. Jackson's Advanced Pistol Markmanship school. These last two pistols are very similarly cutout and may have been done about the same time, or perhaps at the same location. I suppose cutaways were prepared at certain facilities and shipped to others for training purposes.

    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.
