    Springfield Sporters

    I have been trying to contact Springfield Sporters (During their office hours) for the last few days, and have only ever gotten a busy signal. Are they just really busy, and I should continue trying, or is there a problem with ordering over the phone and I should just fax my order in?
    I was going to order parts (wood and metal) for restoring a bubba'ed Lee Enfield No 1 Mk 3* (One of the Siamese contract ones). If anyone has any advice on things to get and/or avoid it would be greatly appreciated.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Faxing usually works well. They probably have been quite busy; a bussy of mine got through yesterday but he had been trying for two or three days...

    I faxed them an order and received my parts within a week. I had no problems with just sending a fax.

    Spell check - I meant "a buddy of mine" in my previous post (doh).

    I called them today and got through - took four or five attempts though.
