Recoil Checks.

**Mikey51** · 08-07-2012 04:48 AM

Does anyone have any info on the markings, or indeed any info, on the genuine USGI items. Found this one for sale but it is one of those "Made in Spain" ones, like those flash hiders that were floating about. Have a look at WB Comes Home, Page 623/624. Thanks. Mike.

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 have a recoil check that is really old, it is marked on the bottom as follows:

Mike,

I have a few. Two marked with .U. somewhere I have an NLD, but can't find it right now. They were recommended for adoption Oct 11, 1945. See "War Baby Comes Home" pages 623-624.

Funny, I have a couple of Underwoods and an NLD too. They have gotten really hard to find over the past couple of years. The Underwood is WW2 USGI, the NLD is USGI made sometime in the early 1960's. I thought Bill Ricca had a writeup on the recoil checks, but I guess not? Here's a picture of my $5 NLD "flash hider"
