    Using shims on the Armalon rail is somewhat hit or miss (usually miss) affair (the Armalon comes with a couple of brass shims, but my receiver needs a diffenent thickness on each side). And the stress inducing fit does not exactly instil long-term confidence. I´m still on the waiting list for a standard LE scope mount, and wonder whether I should have the receiver milled to accept the pads?

    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.

    One thing to consider as it would be best not to fit pads until you have the bracket you intend to use "for best", as variation in the machining is possible on the 2nd/3rd World repros. It's generally agreed that machining the front pad "seat" is essential; the body sides are not a controlled surface, if that is the correct term. I should add perhaps that since the rear pad mating surfaces were reportedly machined after the pad was fitted to the body, it might be wise to carefully run the end mill over that area as well before fitting a reproduction pad on which those surfaces are already machined.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Much changes, much remains the same.
