nice surprise on a SA

I received an SA with some WIN parts in the trigger group. The safety is flat on top, unfortunately it has the dark greek park on it.

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.

If youre needing an unmarked post-war springfield safety, I have one i'll trade you. I need a WRA safety and have a Springfield I don't need. Ironically My Winchester is all black Greek park so that's even a perk!

Ok, I am new to this, but I got an HRA with a completely Winchester trigger group? So I take it this is a find? I know people like Winchesters, it just isnt my thing.

The WIN parts are collectible to some especially if you are doing a restoration. I was waiting to see if anyone recognized the trigger guard. That was more exciting to me!

**USMCNewdog** · 10-22-2009 12:13 PM

what Type 1 SA with the center punch and milled hook on stamped guard?

I had to get the book out to find that!!! P/N C46025, start of production through Sept '39.

Here is another pic. When I saw the concentric rings I figured it was an early part. Then I turned it over and saw the part number. From what I've read this one started around 16,000.

**USMCNewdog** · 10-22-2009 02:27 PM

My book says start of production!

Nice score! I didn't even notice the concentric rings at first. Those rings identify it as early more so than that number, since it looks like the next version retains that number but loses the rings.
