    What do I have?

    I bought this with a number of items and don't have any idea what it is. Perhaps a casting for M1 or M14icon receiver?

    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.

    Is it half an inch or half a yard long? Made of titanium, or toffee?

    Seriously, the first information needed is
    a) material
    b) dimensions

    before making any guesses or deductions!

    Rick, Looks like an M1icon alright.. I scaled a receiver photo in my CAD software and overlayed an outline of your casting (in Yellow). Perfect fit! Salt Flat

    Then it is not a casting itself, but seems to be a pattern for making a sand mold for casting.
