    Lee Remington Navy Contract

    thought I would put this on the Kragicon forum. I have a Lee Remington 45/70 that I have had for about 40 years. I got it to restore for my collection , but never did anything with it. The bad news is that it needs a stock (Cracked and broken badly and glued together with missing wood replaced, maybe good for a stock duplicator only) and the front part of the bolt. Most of the other parts are there including the mag. It is a Navy contract rifle stamped with WWK and Anc. I would like to get about 500 for it, is there any interest, if so I'll send pics metal is in good shape. Email me directly if interested.. tmorisco@swva.net

    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.

    Is the bolt handle ahead or behind the rear reciever ring? Remingtons were behind the ring and used a longer magazine. I have a Remington magazine. I had one of the first Navy trials rifles that was sporterized. I believe these were under 1012 serial number. I think mine was 1010. Shot well. The ones with the bolt handle ahead of the reciever ring were made by the Sharps Co if I remember right. That bolt head would be hard to find.

    rifle has been sold, but Ken for your info the bolt handle is just like a modern rifle, to the shooters side of the bridge. It is clearly marked remington and in the 50K plus ser range. The navy number was 1914
