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.

Nice!

It smells like it was made by a furniture company.
I have seen this before:

You guys and your marks... you are gonna make me pull everything out of the safe and take it out of the stocks just to see if I have something like it... Next time one of you guys are going to do it for me!

Seriously, I don't know. Someone care to teach me something new?

TR, The first picture is an IP receiver. The second one is an IP receiver that has been through an arsenal for rebuild.

**browningautorifle** · 10-18-2010 11:27 AM

Help me here, I always understood there were NO IP receivers that had been accepted. What were the total number that made it through?

**usgicollector** · 10-18-2010 11:30 AM

BQ,
Mine is a early century import that may have been in Germany icon

.
Still has the early features, but before I know what I was doing I had it reparked. It was blued or black oxided when i got it. It still has the RP flip sight and T1 band. Other than my foolishness of newbieism and refinishing it why do you think it was rebuilt?

If I remember correctly there were around 30,000 with the IP name, but most were completed and all were excepted under saginaw's contract. They will be in both the 1million and 3 million S'G' sn blocks

Thanks Brian.

I don't own an IP

So I guess i wouldn't find the mark on anything I do got...

Does anyone have a spare genuine IP bring-back with no rebuild marks? I'll pay you top dollar - is $213.27 sound fair?

What doses IP stand for?
