    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 was going to suggest Gunnutz but I see you already have an ad there. There's a bronze bolt over on the 12X sale forum...

    Making a Sten barrel is simplicity itself if you have a 7" length of rifled 9mm blank. From simple to very simple depending on the mark/type you want

    Or as in past I've made one from a straight tube of barrel and a machined collar like they were apparently done by factory...sweat together, cross pin and go.

    There have been Sten bits and pieces in the last few auctions. Prices have been insane. A bolt and barrel could exceed $1000.
    Making a barrel would certainly be an option. A piece of .35 caliber barrel and a buddy with a lathe and chamber reamer would be needed. If the blank diameter is too small for a one piece barrel, a barrel can be made in two pieces, as many original Mk. II barrels were fabricated. Pretty basic shop operations.

    Try Crowns surplus in Calgary, they are breaking down a lot of torch deactivated stens and had a lot of parts. All the bolts I saw though are torch cut at the working face. Same with barrel tips.

    Yup. They seem to be breaking down many that were deactivated and sold as scrap in the 1970s. Their land is for sale and they are reducing the former owner's vast collection.

    I remember seeing all that, a Centurion tank with a 20Pdr gun and a 105mm barrel lying beside. A tail turret from a Lanc with guns intact, on and on.
