    Parts source

    Does anyone have a good source for '03a3 small parts? Specifically, I'm looking for an original stacking swivel screw. I know the screw is peaned and is not supposed to be removed, but the one I have came out without stripping the band (had not read posts on this issue prior to removing said screw!) However, the screw head was buggered up by the previous owner and I'd like to replace it with a fresh one. Thanks.

    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.

    You can try Numrich.... (Item 55A)

    Numrich Gun Parts Corp. - The World's Largest Supplier of Firearms Parts and Accessories

    You will probably end up with a repro screw though.

    Or you could go all out and get the whole thing as a repro from Sarco....

    You might want to try Bill Ricca. He doesn't have them listed seperate, because as you know, they were part of an assembly. But it would be worth shooting him an email. His parts are USGI.

    Thanks, but not looking for a reproduction. Tried Numrich already, got a reproduction.

    Any 1903a3 guys out that can part with a swivel band screw?

    Thanks Mike, tried Bill already. He only has assemblies, and they are not Remington marked in any event.

    Another possibility. To tell you the truth I would swallow hard and just buy the complete asssembly. Originals are getting harder to find.

    Remington blued stock band for the 1903A3 rifle with stacking swivel

    Regards and good luck
