    My rescue/restoration job finished

    Picked up this "sporterized" 935960 SA with a J5 bolt and well worn SA-05 barrel on Gunbroker for cheap. I bought a NOS High Standard 9-44 barrel from Constantine (hence the unmilled rear sight base). Chuckindenver did the repark, installed the barrel and finished the CMPicon stock and handguard.
    Should make a great shooter!

    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.

    Was the rear sight base on the original barrel "open" on the bottom?

    I don't think so, it was a typical 1918 vintage rear sight base.
