    Early ROF with 25XXA serial could it be 1 of the 3000?

    Noob, looking for some answers about my 41 ROF. The only markings that the gun shows are on the bolt, left side which say ROF 41 25xxA and receiver? that is stamped Englandicon other then that nothing and yes the numbers match. Quick story the gun my uncle found it in a swamp in the mid 60's been in the family since other then that nothing is known about it. Could it be 1 of the 3000 made? Pics soon!

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You mean one assembled from left over trials rifle parts, or simply one of the very early and non-standard Fazakerly No4s?
