    1950 Long Branch Oiler

    What would be the correct oiler for a 1950
    LB? The Black, gray or clear plastic type, or does it not matter. 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.

    The rifle wasn't issued* with a cleaning kit so it wouldn't matter a toss!

    One of the real experts is going to get really nerdy and pedantic here so I'll elaborate. 700 rifles issued to unit coming back from Germanyicon. So there will be 500 bayonets, 500 scabbards 500 pullthroughs, oil bottles cleaning kit tins etc etc

    Know a Britishicon soldier who served in WW II. He said they would remove the spoon from the oiler and use the body to store matches because it was water proof. They had both plastic and brass, but preferred brass since it did not break. I would think that in Korea the same philosophy would have applied.
