    Mike, How did it look? How did it function? Were you satisfied? Jeff B

    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. Brian Dick ...

    You bet I was satisfied. That rifle and the op-rod Jim S un-twisted won a local CMPicon match in the Garandicon category in October.

    PS My op-rod looked fine externally, but dragged heavily and popped out of the receiver track too easily. I dunno about your "ding" on the flat, but other than cosmetic apperance, if Jim says he can get 'er runnin', that would be good enough for me.

    Yep got the op rod back just before x mas. Tweak is nearly gone if you wouldn't know it was there, there would be no need to mention it. He repaired the guide lug also did a real nice job. My only regret is I wish he would have replace the gas piston on it, He mentioned that it was on the low side .525 I never said do it and he never said he wouldn't so I guess it was up to me to let him know what I needed, Hey it was there just do it bill me. All in all I am very satisfied with the price and the workmanship. I know I couldn't have done it. Jeff B
