1903 A2...Huh?

**Homer2** · 05-01-2009 09:01 AM

Sorry if this is a repost, but I did look first...

When did the Gov stop using the A2 sub cal device and build them back into rifles? With a star gauge barrel no less? It looks really nice, but out of my price range, with the lingering doubt of it being a home-made parts gun.

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.

They were obsolete by the end of WWII and converted back to rifles thereafter.
