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.

The one on the right looks like it was marked before milling. ? The left one looks hand stamped.? I love these

OK, this has something to do with the Winchester Educational Order. I'm not sure if bullet guides were part of the Educational Order so possibly the bullet guide was not manufactured by Winchester at all? Anyway, I'm sticking with first Educational Order production. Stu

Stu hit the nail on the head

although Gunny had the hand stamp correct. The first WRA bullet guides were marked B8875 without a space after the B or a - like Springfield's early ones had and they hand stamped WRA until they had the set up made. The key is that B8875 is dead center and then the letters clearly added later and hand stamped. The first Winchester made [100001] does not have the WRA on it.
