    I'd guess it's a Danishicon issue rifle. Possibly purchased from the CMPicon in years past. Check the small parts as there may be Italianicon PB, and BMB marked parts mixed in. It could also have an excellent Danish replacement barrel installed. Nice rifle.

    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 ...

    If it a Danishicon M1icon, it should have a label in the stock channel like this.

    Naw, no label in the stock channel, but is it really clean and tight, no marring or scratches like some of my older M1's.

    I agree with Brian if it's the full serial number then it's Danishicon and not all had the tags as shown.

    He meant the barrel stamp, the one that shows it was made in '49. Not a VAR marking.

    VAR

    I think he did mean VAR to signify a Danishicon-made replacement barrel Attachment 74955
