    Thanks,
    Ft Dupont to SA means the rifle was sent to be used at the Ft Dupont rifle matches. After the match it was returned to Springfield Armory. I have had two rifles that were listed as such. The first was used at the match, returned and rebuilt as a standard issue rifle. The second rifle, which I still own, was returned and rebuilt as a NM rifle with a 1928 "Star" barrel. The paper work shows a list of about 40 or 50 rifles that were returned to SA. There are a group of "A" rifles & a group of "B" rifles. The "A" rifles were used in the matches, the "B' rifles were not used.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    PM sent, I may have discovered a rifle from that shipment you mention and would like to discuss those rifles. Thanks

    You realise this posting was from almost ten years ago? If you look at things you'll see he was last on at 09-10-2009 @ 04:52 ... That's why we don't resurrect old posts.
