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.

I think I read estimate of maybe only under 10,000 were actually made or accepted in carb club newsletter

US&S delivered 28,949 receivers to Quality Hardware.

None of statistics of the Greek or Italian icon

returns show the percentage of to be that high a number. It seems possible a bunch were rejected. I read that somewhere

So some had to be lost in action and some to other countries, So a good guess is 10.000.

No one has a real count as to how many of any maker has survived to today. Guessimates from data sheets, what you see at the shows, things like that are a general clue. And what's stuffed away in grandpa's closet? What is known is Un-Quality guns are hard to come by.

one is on gunbroker now, and i seen an auction today where a guy was asking $799 for 5 de-milled receivers

What is "Un-Quality"? I know Underwood made lots of barrels for Qual Hdwr but not sure what this thread is about.

Union Switch & Signal made receivers fir QHMC.
They were marked on the heel UN-QUALITY.
They are a more rare variant and popular because of the name and the way it reads.

WTMR should know the number remaining because he has 3/4's of them!!!

Ok, here is what the second part of the question should be...

Out of those that survived/still exist, how many are NOT imported marked?
