    Dates and serial numbers

    Some time ago we got into the discussion of Serial numbers and dates, someone had the answers, I have another 1917 ser# 418475 and barrel date of 7-18 (both Remington) do they match and where can I find a publication that would have that information? I know about good 1903 books, but are there any "must haves" for the 1917s?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I don't know if there is a good book. The rifles were assembled indisciminatly. Often the last parts put in the bin were the first ones taken out. My books just give total production figures and approx dates. They use language like "highest number observed". If you do come across something useful, please share it.

    Numbers

    I found it in the threads, Dan Wilson seemed to have an idea about them.

    I only have "UNITED STATES RIFLE MODEL OF 1917" by C.S. Ferris, but I highly reccomend it. According to a table in his book your barrel and receiver are correct for each other.
