    Replacement lanyard rings for the Enfield/Albion No.2 revolvers are damned hard to come by and when found are generally pretty high dollar as there are so many of these pistols extant missing this component and too many people looking for one. In lieu of the original assembly, the Smith and Wesson pattern lanyard ring as used with the WWII era handguns manufactured by that firm can be fitted with minmal modification. It's an inexpensive component and it looks okeh, too! Don't even try to fit the much oversize Webley Mark VI ring--not even close.

    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 ...

    Anyone with a lathe should be able to turn exact copies of the landyard loop shaft by the dozen, surely? The ring is just soft steel wire from the radius of the loop. If I was there I'd have hundreds of replicas turned off in a morning, phosphated in the afternoon and on that auction site in the evening!

    There £17.25 in the UKicon which I reckon is about £28. They don't ship to the US but if anyone needs one let me know.

    From what I've been told, the foresight was changed for a lighter bullet after the war. The issue was a 200 grain and the later adout 150. I had one that had been issued to the Edmonton City Police and the sight was like the OPs for their issue bullet at the time.
    Regards, Jim

    We didn't alter the sight blade while it was in service with us.

    I guess the £28 was a typo BP, and should be $28 ? as for postage we are stuck in the UK as Royal Mail will not handle anything related to firearm parts anymore, anything that is thought to be related will be destroyed, dont know about parcel force ?

    Only today I found out that TNT will not insure a rifle on its value only on its weight, think its around £15 per kilo.

    Doh, yes i meant $28. I reckon it looks like a small machine part, I dont know if anyone would recognise it at Royal Mail (If they really care).

    Those landyard-loops are identical to tie-down rings used in loads of commercial undertakings. Is there a ban on tie-down rings too?
