Question about SRS

Hey guys...I haven't kept up with this, but how do you go about subscribing to SRS to use the data base? I used to use it when it was free and found it real handy. Thanks for any info.

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.

Thanks Rick!

If I understood your question correctly, a membership does not give you access to the data base. It only allows you to order letters.

**604flyer** · 07-17-2009 02:48 PM

AHA!!! So how do you get access to the database these days? Or do you? TIA

**Rick the Librarian** · 07-17-2009 03:04 PM

According to their website, membership gets you a "reasonable" (their word) number of look-up requests, not access to their data base.

You can alos buy the 4 volume set of book with the serial date base. The serial number data base covers not only 1903 , but M1 icon

Garands, Carbines 1911, trapdoor, Krag, Colt percussion, Colt SAA, sharps, Winchester shotguns and more.

Sounds like buying the set of books is the way to get unlimited access to the database. So maybe that would explain why I see posters requesting somebody to look up a serial number, huh?

Remember the data is old. SRS is working on comming out with an update to the set of books but I do not know when.

Mark, In reading the June 09 issue of MARTIAL ARMS COLLECTOR Mr. Gagner states no further books will be done and in fact there is no longer a list of MAC serial number books for sale. there were five books V.1-3 then V.4 in 1995 and V.4 in 1999??
So are the books even for sale any longer? He does state a new on-line service is in the works, so it may be some type of pay for number data service.
