    Mr. Ricca,
    IIRC made a statement once that if it could be determined that if you were in possession of all said parts even if not all at the same time, it could be very bad for you.
    Any you could use on your carbine used as a semi auto only- like the slide, housing, M2 hammer were not a issue.

    Obviously not his words, but the best I can remember.
    I've passed a PM to Mr. Ricca for his input.

    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).

    I do not know about possession as far as the details of what you had over how much time. I do know several dealers were arrested and convicted based upon selling the complete items over less than 5 years.

    They can purchase each item at a different time and as long as you sell everything to them within 5 years, you are headed to jail.

    I'm not happy about those M2 parts markings Charlie, not kosher, not genuine USGI ? In my opinion the markings should look something like this ???? Wouldn't be S.A I don't think. Someone else, good to learn more about though. Cheers. Mike. Attachment 33542Attachment 33543
