    NRA Sporter question

    A lucky freind of mine has inherited what's been confirmed to be a 1903 NRA Sporter model and he's asked me to help find some small parts. The rifle is complete and unaltered except that the sling swivels have been removed for reasons known only to Grandpa. Am I correct in thinking that these swivels are the same items used on the standard '03 military model?

    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.

    Fortunately the band is still there. This should be a pretty easy fix. Thanks.
