    Name this aperture

    [/QUOTE][/IMG]What type of aperture is this? It does not have tracks. It does have a punch mark. How can I tell if it is milled or stamped? Thanks, Mike

    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.

    The thick aperatures with punch mark and no tracks are Winchester. All Garandicon apertures are machined

    Unfortunately, they really don't know the difference in cast, forged, stamped or milled. Plenty of errors in that book concerning manufacturing methods, sorry! Otherwise, its a fairly useful reference.

    Mike,

    The Red, Blue and Green cover books by Scott Duff are what you need to start. Take the Poyer & Reisch book and used it for a page marker.

    One of Duff's books show an SA photo of a partilly finished series of sight apertures. You'll see how they were done.
