    WTK: M-1A Serial Numbers

    Serial number 69XXX, green and white box, any good?

    I have heard some of the SA M-1A's had problems with the receivers, wondering if this is one of them?

    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 ...

    Take a look at the M14icon firing line at M-14 Firing Line Public Forum - Powered by vBulletin. There might be some answers to your question. I know there is an area that will tell you when your M1a was built.

    That is a great time period for M1Aicon receivers. Some of the earlier receivers had a ridge on the bottom that affected their fit in a stock but that was solved in the early 40,000 range. I have one in the 69,100 range that is excellent, made in April 1992.
