    My only M1 rifle …”EMcF” accepted…and some other stuff.

    I don’t know very much about the complexity of collecting these guns.

    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.

    Not knowing and trying to find out the answers is part of the fun in collecting M1icon's.

    SA EMcF rifle

    I have a SA 1.5 million rifle too, also with the SA EMcF cartouche, barrel is SA 4-43. Some of the additional parts are:
    bolt -12SA heat lot S04<>
    op rod rev 6 SA
    trigger housing -12SA, trigger guard milled
    hammer -3SA, safety -9SA
    Type 2 lock bar

    Question on your SA EMcF stock, do you have the small crossed cannon stamp on the bottom of the pistol grip ? Also on the left side of your stock where the clip latch is inletted, is it a flat bottom or tapered ?

    If your only going to own one, that sure is a nice one to own. But I tend to doubt this will be your only M1icon for long.

    Now I think you are very lucky...

    Looking at you photos and comparing them to my SA 1.6M and I

    That is really a very nice example, congrats and keep forwarding photos as your collection of M-1's grows>

    I like this saying, which wasn't true when I was issued mine in the Corps, because it belonged to Uncle Sam. But now its true.

    This is my rifle, there are many like it........but this one is mine!

    And thats a nice collection you have started.

    Thanks for all the comments.
    I will take the gun out of the safe to have a closer look at it.
    I have attached some additional photos that were taken when I bought it.
    I don't believe the bolt # is correct for a gun in this serial number range.

    As I said M1icon rifles are definitely not my field of expertise, I only wanted one example as my collecting interests are too scattered to focus on one particular model.

    Your C13 bolt is late 1940/early 1941

    Thanks RCS,

    No crossed cannons escutcheon on the bottom of the pistol grip that I can see.

    (Click on images to enlarge them.)







    A rack number on the stock?






    Is 1-S-A-12-43 correct for a EMcF inspected, 1722249 serial numbered gun?








    I guess it is time that I start to find out what this gun is all about!
    (For the positive or the negative.)

    Thanks for your help.....any thoughts are appreciated.

    David
