M1 Op Rod Question

**Cosine26** · 12-10-2011 02:16 PM

I have an M1 icon

Op Rod marked:
D35382 6 SA
It has a rounded area forward of the op rod handle instead of flat
It looks as if it has been field cut
Can someone tell me what era it was made?
Thanks

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.

Yes, according to Duff late 1942 to late 1943.

" Looks to be field cut " You're sure he isn't talking about the post-war rebuild notch ?

Here is what I am calling "field cut"

Yes, it looks like a rough job by comparison to factory confirmed rods.
