    Glacier slow progress, but did a reference drawing of the left side of the ejector (minus the all important integral retaining pin!) Haven't used the drafting equipment in ages and spent lots of time looking for stuff. Including translucent paper. Thought there was a whole package about somewhere, but ended up reusing some old drawing which shows in reverse in the photo. Painful to not have a good primary datum horizontally. Reckon the vertical is easy enough, though. And the flat left face will do for a reference plane for thickness.


    The two radii are in question. Sketch noted 0.250" rad. but the tracing seems about half that.

    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 ...

    Did a "quick" RH side view and made a change to the upper dimension on the left side view. The photo on the right side seems to show much larger radii on the bottom cutout. Almost like two different parts! Curse low resolution camera phone photos. And my lack of preparation!
