    Roy, I have put your name on one. I need to machine some 2BA screws for the pads and then they are about ready to ship.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Congratulations on getting that into solid metal - never a simple process. It would be interesting to see one of these shot extensively as I wonder how long it would take the front base to work loose, if not simply shear the offside screw. As long as the solder held out I suppose, as once that let go it would be all over for the screw(s).

    Why they chose to make that front base so unnecessarily narrow is a mystery to me. The larger spigot diameter was presumably incorporated to attempt to compensate for the greater weight of the bracket compared to the No32 type, but the minimal attachment of the base undoes it all IMHO.

    Drawing dated 25th of May 1940: 15 days into digitus extractus!

    If most of the No3(T) rifles hadn't been abandoned in Franceicon it would have made some sense to use the P14 with the No32 as it was already in service and provided for from a stores and maintenance point of view.

    I suspect this drawing and the others done around the same time reflect a consideration of the options, one of which was the No4, which ended up being chosen for obvious reasons post-Dunkirk.

    Those thousands of SMLE snipers scrapped post-WWI would have come in pretty handy in 1940-43.

    Promo's build is the benchmark that others will be compared to and that won't be easy to match.

    The mount looks excellent & congratulations are due! I was lucky enough to get a set from Promo when he had a limited number made up, although it's still not fitted to a rifle as yet. I have a suitable spare Winchester P'14 so I've really no excuses....

  7. Thank You to Roger Payne For This Useful Post:

    Apologies for such a late reply, it looks like I am not receiving notifications from the board. It looks like just about everything I built is spoken for although I may have one left and will know in the next couple of days. I vowed never to do another run however these have been so well received I should really think about it.
