Another 1917

**dirigoboy** · 03-23-2020 02:47 PM

This is my Winchester. Arsenal rebuild I suspect....there are no stampings on the underside of the stock. Barrel is a 10-17.
I'm inside today and this is what happens when you are, due to weather. Don't feel like going out into a cold barn, lighting a fire in the stove and then dubbing around. The moment I took my snow plow off yesterday afternoon in brilliant sunshine, that little voice said, 'you're hexing yourself." Sure enough. Gray today, weather chaps are now saying six inches are on the way.

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.

Nice looking rifle, I remember so well when I was young being able to go find one locally that was just like new. '17/'18 barrel dates and still greased from storage. Bore would be perfect too, all gone into collections or sporterized now. Gone... That one's about perfect.

You are so lucky you can display it on the sofa...............my wife would have strung me up by now

**Ovidio** · 03-24-2020 08:40 AM

Then, I’m also lucky. See, happyness is a question of observation angles

You may be interested to see that the Eddystone with this serial number shows up in the SRS. Doesn't tell you anything about your rifle but a neat happenstance anyway.
