    Standard carbine

    As a member of Vietnam Veterans of America, I marched in the Memorial Day parade.

    After a very long closing ceremony, taps and a volley was fired by WWll reenactors. Among the M1s, I saw a carbine and when I looked at it closer, it had Standard stamped on the tang rather then under the sight.

    Is this normal? The carbine did not have a cartouche on it. It had a bayo stud.

    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.

    An accepted method ..

    for restamping the SN & Manufacture according to my 1953 Carbine manual.
    Needed for the overhanging rear sight that replaced the flip sight.

    I think what A F Medic is refering to is the name "Standard Products" stamped on the top of the recoil plate. This is the piece that holds the back of the receiver in the stock. The carbine could have been of any manufacturer. The manufacturer's name was probably partially obscured by the adjustable rear sight. It sometimes can make the serial number hard to completely read also. A number of manufacturers had recoil plates that had an identifying mark that could be read from the top. Early Standard Products were marked "Standard Products". Saginaw recoil plates were marked "SG" on top. Winchesters had a small "w" on top usually sideways. Rockola were marked "ROCK-OLA" or with an "R" over "SG". Those are the only ones that come to mind with markings on top, there may have been another one or two that escape my mind.
