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.

Andy, welcome. I wish I could help you but I'm not that sharp on the M14 icon

. Good to see you here from the "G"!

hi Bill
thanks so much

"no marks" on all the above are fine, AFAIK. TRW stocks are fairly distinctive in appearance- photos would help here.

Your hammer is WRA. I don't know about the safety. I don't think the flash hider or gas parts are marked.

Andy, you lucky so and so! Thanks for sharing.

Gas cylinder has just been rubbed upon a bit- It's stainless steel, so no real worries, unless you try and refinish it conventional "parkerizing".

Stock is likely not orginal to the rifle- TRW's are a bit blocky, and have sort of a blackish stain in the birch wood, typically. Frankly, they didn't make their own stocks anyway (subcontracted) and I prefer the walnut so why change it?!

**andy_ita** · 04-06-2011 07:11 AM

well the gas cylinder appear to be polished. all the parts, inside included, is bright... so i will replace it.
the stock is a wonderful stock.. but it should be SA production..
i ll change it when i ll find a good TRW
if u know someone have on sale, please let me know

I don't think you can parkerize a gas cylinder because they are stainless steel. The were usually painted with a black enamel and baked in an oven.
