    Un-quality

    Why were US&S receivers stamped UN-QUALITY when purchased by QHMC but more conventionally stamped U when subcontracted by NPM? Who's idea was that? Was there any conflict between US&S and QHMC at the time or was QHMC's name choice just trying to be funny or ... ?

    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.

    In their paper "Production of War Material 1940-1945" by US&S there is no mention of marking the receivers for either QHMC or NPM. Only the bolts manufactured by US&S were mentioned as being finished, and that was in Du-Lite.
