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.

Just a guess, but if it's a gun sent to China - it might mean "China".

On the Mosin Nagant M91/30 'CH' means that the rifle was once a Sniper Rifle. 'CH' is an abbreviation of 'Snaperskaya' - Sniper. Have a look on the inside of the receiver in the bolt raceway and you might see some screws that have been inserted into the old mounting holes and ground flush on the outside.

No one seems too sure why these rifles were desnipered.

No plugged screw holes on the receiver

That would rule out it having one of the later (1942 onwards) PU scopes and mounts. The old mount holes could be on either side of the receiver just behind the barrel chamber for a PE or PEM type mount.

What year and manufacture is your rifle? Can you post some photos of the rifle?
