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.

Ok , Im tracking now.

Would a flat side be ok on a 43' ? I see you said it came out in early 45' now. Jay

Curved Nov 43 to Jan 45, flat Jan 45 to Sept 45 (per Duffs book). I have a -3 with modification on my SA 1942. It's the oldest OP Rod I have and it came on a CMP icon

service grade. Still the best rifle they sent me as far as history. The rod was probably issued with rifle. It came with a SA 51 barrel so this one may have been fixed up and sent to Korea. We just will never know?

Would the -3 curves be hard to find? If I tried to sell mine or trade it for a curved?

Which one of Duffs boks did you read that info in? I only have 2 of them, ,Jay

The red one The M1 icon

Garand: World War II page190-192 , Charts show the info. Note in the chart that the -9s are the only one showing curved and flat. without research.. do I concur that any prior to -9 is curved as my -3 seems to be. I don't look for parts as I just get rifles at this time(M1 Garands).

**bulldog_mack13** · 03-10-2011 12:08 PM

I just get rifles also. I guess im on the hunt for a -9 curved with a flat -9 to sell. Thanks for the info on the book. -Jay

Unmodified rev 9 curved side op-rods are not easy to find either. There seems to be more of the unmodified rev 9 flats around.

Here is what looks like a curved side rev 9 uncut.
