    Confused by S'G' note in Riesch 5th ed

    My S'G' order just went "shipped" and the SN is 3650947.

    Riesch 5th ed page 201 note 2 says:

    "Saginaw S'G' (Grand Rapids) receivers have been observed in the SN range assigned to Saginaw SG as high as SN 36244XX."

    Does this mean that my new S'G' has set a new upper limit for S'G' SN in the block assigned to SG?

    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 ...

    Reed,
    No need to bother Riesch with it. Email me tonight and I'll tell you a story.

    Great to hear your S'G' is on it way!

    I hope you'll tell us about the SN after you receive it and post some pictures.
