    Swivel

    I have a Type IA barrel band with a broken swivel (just base of swivel left). I'm saying Type IA because what is left of the swivel has "UI" stamped on it. Luckily I am unable to unscrew it and take out the broken swivel without stripping the band or messing up the screw. The barrel band itself is unmarked, so I am guessing if I find a unmarked narrow swivel, I can have a Type I band. Wider or marked, a Type IA.

    How difficult is it to find just swivels without the band? Cursory parts search didn't look too promising. Having our bi-monthly last gun show before everything is outlawed in a couple of weeks, maybe find one there.

    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 ...

    They're out there but hard to find. What do you mean about outlawed? Sounds scary.

    Just a tactic trying to get us to the shows. Says gun shows are going to be outlawed soon. Don't really need too much persuading to get Kansans to any gun show. Always very crowded and hard to move around in. I do look forward to them though.
