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.

You may want to get someone who speaks , and can write in English to help you with the post as it does not make much sense .

The Swiss

didn't make it with that barrel on it. Probably a one off from someone.

What barrel???

**Bruce_in_Oz** · 04-26-2021 10:25 PM

6.5 x 55 Swede?

Max OAL in the mag?

Otherwise pretty much identical head diameter.

Could be an interesting field and range critter.

The easy way is to cut off the 7.5 bbl and thread the stub for a new bbl. Has been done a lot in Switzerland where there are all sorts of cartridges on K-31s. I know some one is USA icon

does it but name escapes me.

In my collection is a 9mmX55 sporter. (7.5 Swiss icon

necked up to 9mm).

Keep in mind the Rim on the 7.5 Swiss icon

is unusually large rim size for a non magnum cartridge. You might have erratic grip with smaller case heads.

Easy to make a 6.5x55 SWISS (7.5 necked down). CUT OFF OLD BBL TO MAKE A STUB. FIT 6.5 BARREL TO it. Get a reamer made in 6.5x55 SWISS. Chamber it. Use 6.5 Rem Mag dies to neck down 7.5x55 cases to 6.5. Not sure prize is worth the quest but it can be done.
