    Three more lee Enfield desporterized :)

    Hi folks,

    I haven't been "desporterizing" much in 2012, so I caught up and refurbed three over the past couple of months.

    An Ishapore No1Mk3*:



    A Savage No4:



    And a Brit No4Mk2, for which I was lucky to find a nice set of wood:



    It was about time I got back to my main leisure activity

    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 ...

    Well the Mrs. sure thinks I have too many! But these are three that will go to other homes. For my own, there's a Lithgowicon No1Mk3* which I'll work on in the next few months.

    Nice Work

    Great Job...have a question?

    Will the standard winged sight protector fit on a P-14 barrel ? My front sight protector wings have been milled/cut off.

    Thanks

    GM
