    1903 Recent Florida Gunshow purchase

    Attachment 27220Attachment 27221 Hello Milsurp friends....I've added a couple of pics of the M1903 Springfield that I recently bought at a gunshow here in Florida. It was mounted in a sporter stock, so, I placed it into a C stock that I had at the house. It is a 1932 SN (1416620 SA 6-31 Barrel {1 on MZ gauge}). The target in the pic was fired at 100 yards......21 clicks up on the PJ O'Hare micrometer and 1 Point Right Windage. Would probably shooter better in the hands of a better marksman. Anyway......it is a nice shooting...and a nice looking rifle.

    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.

    Yes....it is an original PJ O'Hare micrometer. The stock is Pre WWII judging by the "S" in the cut-off indent. When I noticed that the barrell date & serial number were close and then measured the muzzle wear, I was anxious to make the guy an offer.
