    I can find no "W" inside this WRA operating slide box..circular machining marks are unmolested..there is an "R" on the rail..again this is 1108196, no "W" on hammer..anyone else have a letter on rail?





    Note punch mark

    Spring tube, bull nose hand guard,

    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 ...

    I found two Winchester type 1 slides in the spare parts bin, W in the box. One with a N and one with an O near the location of the R on yours.

    "W" type 1 slide marking

    I have a 1.07 with W in bottom of box and M on the arm. Hard to tell ,but looks a little like the bottom half of the W about a inch in from end below the line amongst the mill circles. John
