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.

I haven't run across a good Finnish icon

Mosin in a long time. The write-up on "B" barrel rifles in the one book I have on collecting Mosin Nagants is rather confusing!

Thanks

I just looked carefully at the barrel shank and I'm pretty sure that it is a "VKT/B" barrel. According to the rarity chart at 7.62net, that is a bit rarer than the "B" barrel.

It is possible that it is a "Liege proofed" VKT/B barrel. The squiggly mark on the far left of the pic almost looks like a Liege proof mark.

I'll need an expert ruling on this one.
