What was an "N" on the knox form supposed to signify? Not around the books and can't remember.

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.

No. 1 MKIII, just an "N" on the flat of the knox form, could date to the WWII years.

Thanks

Could it be to signify a rebarrel?

Absolutely no help whatsoever - but maybe useful in the future (and it shows I tried to help !!)

Not listed I see, it's definately a capital letter "N". I'll see what other marks may be on it. I think it was a WWII era replacement.

I've got an 'N' on the wrist of one of my .22 trainers, for 'Navy'?

Yes. A 1/4 inch high "N" on the receiver, left side, usually near the butt socket was Navy.

Do you think that might be the case for one with an "N" on the knox form flat?
