    1903 USMC Sniper Question

    Any hope of verifying a serial number?

    1379560

    It is on a rifle that appears to be a USMC Sniper. Not sure if this is original USMC
    or was a National Match and built up.

    Any help?

    Thanks

    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 show only two DCM National Match sales rifles in the S/N 1379xxx serial range. I show no USMC rifles in the S/N 137xxxx serial range. In summary, there ain't much of anything interesting in that serial range. The rifle, therefore, is not likely a USMC sniper rifle, based on serial number alone.

    FWIW.

    It was a long shot. Almost all these rifles are not correct.

    I had to check though.

    Thanks.
