    Couple of dust covers and questions...

    Here's two dustcovers pictured below. One is a cast alloy, just wondering what else went on it for mounting a scope?

    The other one has had an interesting mod. The bracket soldiered onto the top has what looks to be a 1:1 scope on it. The bracket is screw adjustable for elevation, and has some increments marked on the adjustment nut. The "scope"...(I think it would be better termed as a lensed aperture tunnel) has the following marks...
    "CR1031"
    then it has a large "W" with a smaller "W" inside it
    next "Reg. No"
    "WWL1188"

    anyone got any clues?

    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. Brian Dick ...

    The bottom one looks like it's got a little RJ Beck 1:1 sight that was fitted to the EM series of rifles. It looks different because the tapered cover has been removed from the sight tube. The CR relates to the sight as it's part of the old MoS identification code. Archaic or what............?
