    Lee Enfield "Mag-Matching" Thread

    I was sitting here oiling a number of the surplus magazines in my collection when it dawned on me that there may be (although unlikely) a few of you out there looking for the mag that is numbered to your enfield.

    So I'm going to post the manufacture and the serial number for the spare mags that I have in my collection. If a serial number matches one of your rifles then you have just hit the jackpot you lucky bastard. Time to go buy a lottery ticket.

    I'll update this post when I obtain mags not matching to any of my enfields. Not sure if this is "Sticky Worthy" but there are a lot of enfields out there with non-matching mags. Perhaps we can rectify that for a few people!

    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.
