Lighten up. You're going to scare away all of the new people who are trying to lurn..lern..laern. Get educated.

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.

For me Mk1No4, NoIVMkI and Mk4No1 drive me crazy.
I will however accept SMLE MkIII and No1MkIII interchangeably as long as your rifle was made before 1926 when nomenclature changed.

It is a magazine not a clip and wanting extras to change them out instead of using chargers.

Forced matched.
As in "the serial numbers were forced matched when the rifle was rearsenaled".

So what would be a better term than the above?

**tiriaq** · 03-05-2010 06:11 PM

Renumbered?
Rebuilt?
As in "the bolt was renumbered to match the receiver when the rifle was rebuilt"? "Original serial number lined out and restamped to match the receiver"?
Rearsenaled is just silly. A rifle was never arsenaled in the first place.

"Re-arsenaled"-Unless it went through the arsenal overhaul more than once! (Beyond the usual local level stuff.) Who's got a rifle w/ multiple "FTR" markings?

**limpetmine** · 03-05-2010 11:32 PM

I've got one that does, can barely read the first one, but it IS there. I should post pics sometime. I got it from SOG a while back, paid extra for a specific year and maker. They gave me what I asked for, but man, it is rough. So I can't complain too bad! It won't fire a round; bolt is messed up. Was going to send it back but got hooked on all the hieroglyphics on the receiver.

Does anyone know where this term: “re-arsenaled” originated ??? I have never seen it in US publications, is it used any where in UK icon

publications??? Effects me like the sound of scraping dried mud off a shovel .

And where did “King Screw” come from?? And no rude comments please.
