    National Match?

    I'm planning to look at a supposed National Match '03 this weekend, SN 1520242. Can someone please run an SRS check and verify that this is a valid NM number? Thanks much

    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.

    03 NM rifle number

    That number is not listed in my SRS book. There are only two numbers in the 1520XXX group, neither of which is close to that number.

    Keep in mind, Frankie, that not all NM rifles were listed on the SRS records. Look for specific features thast might lead to a positive (or negative) identification.

    1) Star Gauge barrel - look on the 6 o'clock position of the muzzle and look for the number on the top of the barrel, about 1/3 of the way from the receiver end

    2) Stock: Should have a D1836 and the serial number on the bottom near the butt swivel. Stock should be a Type C prewar stock.

    3) Bolt, raceway and follower should be polished
