I'm a softie for 5 digits...

I was at the CMP icon

North Store and came across this one in the woodless rack. Besides the very nice condition early receiver, the trigger group contained just the three WRA parts that I needed to make up another complete WRA trigger group.

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.

I would think your receiver is a revision 2 but could you check as a revision 1 would be kind of rare to find !

**JAS** · 08-16-2009 08:44 PM

Yes, it is a revision 2. That was one of the first things I checked. My other receiver, serial number 49797 is a revision 1. Both have had the 7th. round modification done to them.

13.6 miles and I'd be broke! Nice find!

I received a 5-digit stripped receiver through mail order from the CMP icon

in the 17XXX range a while back. I have a parts kit and barrel along with a DuPage "seconds" stock set. All I need is for fall to get here so I do not melt in the garage here in Houston while putting it together.

I like putting it side by side with the other stripped receiver I got with that order, a 1177XXX lead dipped. It is interesting to see the differences between a revision 1 and a revision 17 receiver.
