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.

M1A1

Buttplate sand casting?

Or is that concrete?

**Tired Retired** · 08-13-2010 10:49 PM

a) its part of the heat treatment oven
b) the backstop to the test range
c) part of the concrete floor from the factory
d) the rock that a carbine collector got hit with while trying to get out of his hospital bed?

Paul, from the pictures, it looks like a piece of concrete. Can you give us a hint as to the STAGE of carbine production it was used in?

P.S.Hope you are giving your doctors fits!
