    MLE 1 parts?

    Morning gents,

    Does anyone know of a source for MLE 1 parts?

    I just acquired an 1896 BSA & C rifle of this type.
    I need a front band, nosecap, and rear sling swivel.

    On cleaning, the barrel is a bit tired and worn, so maybe a barrel as well!

    Any help most appreciated,

    Richard.

    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 ...

    I have been looking for over a year and parts for these seem to be thin on the ground in Canadaicon. Ebay has had a few come up for sale mainly from sellers in NZicon and OZ but they went for a pretty penny.
    I used to enjoy restoring rifles but lately it has gotten so cost prohibitive that it makes more economical sense to buy a matching original rifle.

    Pretty sure i have a spare front band, might have a rear swivel as well.. Swivels and nose caps do bring a pretty penny on eBay.
