Thank you, Sir.

Thought it might be something like that, but the 15 or so that share my home all are marked 2.222. The only exception is A.G. Parker s/n 0019, a converted LM-!! with a Parker 23-inch barrel and a gold front sight, marked as 2.21.

Perhaps sombody was thinking about 7.62s when they stamped this one.

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.

I don't think its actually a UK icon

proof mark, but some other country's (South Africa?) version of a CIP mark. I have a feeling that its related to the CIP measurement of the cartridge pressure (ie not chamber dimension) which, IIRC, is specified at a point on (for rimless) or near the case shoulder.

Then again I might be completely wrong!
