Got this one on a carbine I traded for...

I do not think this one is a repop from our West Coast friend on the River Styxx. At least it is Inland, and not Winchester.

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.

I think those are the originals...You lucky duck, they don't exist anymore. I don't even remember seeing one when I had carbines.

Can you tell us about the carbine it was on when you got it. Other part types and markings.

Lucky Duck is right!! --- My mentor brought me what appeared to be a standard CMP icon

rebuild rifle. A Rock Ola receiver, with all late features, except this mag release. He said "You need this." I says "no, I've got several rifles like that." Not the rifle, he says, but the mag release. I'll give you this one if you'll give me a newer one in it's place!! I said fine, and just dug a newer release out of my parts bin.. Took the Type I out, and installed the newer one. That's pretty much the story.
I looked in an older version of Riesch's book I had laying around, and it wasn't shown, or at least not correctly... His newer book does show it.
On what vintage of Inland would this one be correct?

Up until around 40k for the W-I marked ones IIRC. I know the EI marked ones started before 20k and they were long smooth face.
