OH DUH!!! I knew that...I have one!! It’s hard when you have an "OH DUH", "senior moment" and "general brain F**T" all at the same time.

Thanks, Steve

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.

Now I'm confused. Your stated s/n 11420X is about a year too early to have 'MODEL 1899' stamped on it. Would you double check the model stamping and the s/n. A close up picture would really help sort this out.
Please advice?
Chuck

Sorry Chuck, I did not mean to confuse you. The receiver is stamped Model 1898. When I responded to your original post I copied a small part which was "receiver is stamped MODEL 1899" to emphases that I should have known that. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks, Steve

That's O.K. sometimes I'm easily confused. Thank you for the reply.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
