    My NPM Restoration Project

    Guys, here is how my White Bag NPM restoration project is going.
    NPM - 4.22
    Barrel - Underwood dated 9-43
    Front site - Milled unmarked
    Operating Slide - N9
    Bolt - Blued flat N-14 (from Nick Dailey)
    Trigger Housing - N16 Type 3
    Hammer - Type 3 marked IN (from a forum member)
    Sear - Type 1 marked LN (Nick Dailey)
    Trigger - Type 2 marked SN (Paul Imbragulio)
    Mag Catch - unmarked type 2a
    Safety - Type 3 marked SN
    Stock - Walnut High Wood Timble TN marked NPM/FJA with CC Cartouche
    Hand Guard - Walnut 2 rivet marked very small TN
    Recoil Plate - type 2 marked LN (Type 3 LN on the way)
    Got this White Bagger from PBI, tell me what you think so far. I have a few more items to get, but MaMa insisted on new Living room furniture. So after going last week to the furniture Store with her and spending lots of money, I have to slow down. Remember guys, when your married for 37 yrs like me, it goes in this order. Family, Food, and Furniture, then Carbines.

    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 ...

    Hammer can be IN or HN, says Riesch, and I know a lot of his stuff is wrong, so I'm pretty sure I asked PBI about it. Some of you guys let me know,I may have to search for a HN. All these numbers drive me crazy.

    Scott, you are right on Trigger Housing. Guess I got to writing too fast. I Catelogued all of my carbines on same day,eyes hurt. And the Mag catch is one I stuck in there. PBI has the correct one on hold to me a type MN.

    Ok, Brian thanks. Thats what I'll start looking for. And to answer Faulkner's question, I have the trigger housing that came off of the White Bagger, takes about 3 minutes to switch and the slide and Poof its bag to White Bag configuration. So in effect I can have it both ways in 5 minutes, any way I want it. The best of both worlds.
