    I bought a few of them from WPG . They looked to have good web material . The rivets were not " right " and did not fill the holes correctly , but they have never failed. My problem with them is the "hook" metal is not strong enough and can deform with use. I did not test them enough before buying a dozen or so. I am prob'ly going to gather them up and sell them at a discount to fund the web slings. They are good for display and light usage . I'll prob'ly also sell a few of the 30-50 original 1917 , 1903 ,and M3 Kerrs I have , don't need this many.

    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 ...

    HOLY COW, Chris!, no wonder I couldn't find any originals when I was looking - YOU have all of them!

    You sure won't have any trouble selling them when you get ready!
