Generational M2's

Thought I'd share a picture of three generations of M2's

Left to right. Handstamped, Machine stamped, Machine stamped then over stamped.

And they follow in serial number sequence. 6,778,XXX, 7,052,XXX, 7,084,XXX

Now just nice paperweights and conversation starters.

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 once was lucky enough to have a first gen M2 that was machine stamped and mint...made in 5 or 6 of '45(I forget). Had a bayonet lug and all the late features...long time ago. I have the number here someplace...

That is a nice picture, BUT where are the rest of them? Or is this a before the end of them photo shot?
