CMP H@R. Sn. 5695xxx

**SUB VET II** · 08-26-2009 05:38 PM

Rifle has what I believe to be Orig. barrel, dated 10-55, bolt, op rod and a good lookin birch stock. Muzzle 1 1/2 throat 2. Rifle has a SA trigger group. H@R hammer and trigger,SA saftey. Windage knob is H@R but elevation knob is SA I think. Rifle was through Letterkenney in 6/65. Questions: Where is Letterkenney and did H@R ever use SA parts in their original production? Everything is same color and has not been refinished. Again; Thanks in advance for any infor.

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.

some safetys inthe trigger groups, some barrels in 5.7s usually. There is ZERO verifiable evidence that ANY M1 icon

's ever left any factory with anything except WALNUT stocks.

EDPM3---Mine is 5695395--------A really good lookin rifle.

That's close enough that they could have been in the same room at the factory at some point. My barrel is also 10-55 and gages very well--mw=1 and TE=2. Can't help with comparison of other parts, though, since I received mine from the CMP icon

as a stripped barreled receiver. It's mostly correct now. I say "mostly" because we'll never know for sure. Maybe it needs an SA safety :^)

EDPM 3: Received mine from CMP icon

as a complete rifle a few years back. I think I have heard or read that Letterkenny Depot used Birch stocks. However the configuration matches Duffs pictures of an H@R stock. AKA Hugh Uno above states that some SA parts were used. Did not realize however that no birch was used in original production. Live and learn. Thanks everyone for the input. Now to the range with my Greek Rtn.

Re: my last post. The h@R is not a Greek Rtn. Was shooting my 1903A3 which is a Greek rtn.
