    Two CMP M1 Rifles: ID lot #s please?

    Hello Group,
    Received two very clean US M1icon Rifles from CMPicon and would like to know how original each is, in terms of having the correct parts that would have been in each rifle when it left Srpingfield.
    (1)5446357 SN receiver, 6535382 SA op rod, 6528287-SA over A16, 6528290 trig. group, barrel SA 11-54
    (2)5884165 SN receiver, Same op rod , 6528287-SA over Z2 , Same trig. group,
    barrel SA 4-55
    Thanks for any responses that can tell me if these parts are correct, or not and if not, which drawing lots should those pieces show on these rifles.
    Best,
    Steve Ashe

    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 ...

    Attached are the two M1icon Rifles as they arrived with Winchester trigger groups. I have since replaced those with the correct stamped trigger guard groups. Attachment 21276

    Per this website: http://myplace.frontier.com/~vzewegj7/id12.html

    (1) Bolt is for 5,9XX,XXX to 5,999,000 range. A little late for the serial# of this rifle. Should be A14 or A15 instead. Very close - some of these guides aren't exactly biblical in their ranges, but you're in the ballpark.
    (2) Bolt is for 5,8XX,XXX to 5,900,000 - right on the money!

    Otherwise things seem okay to me! Congrats on your rifles
