    NPM Recoil Plate

    Would a recoil plate marked only with an N be an NPM recoil plate.? Real? Fake?

    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 ...

    Could you post a picture. I don't know if I have ever seen one with just an N.

    LN, and PN, were used on National Postal Meter carbines.

    LN.......Lyman Gun sight Co. in Middlefield, Conn.

    PN.......Parker Mfg. Co. in Worcester, Mass.

    What a twit I am. Using a strong side light to get a picture of the "N", I can now see a faint "L" that I couldn't make out before. I feel more than a little foolish.

    No reason to feel foolish, we have all been there. It's part of the learning cure, that's why we ask questions.

    And on occasion, markings are almost invisible. For some of them, you have ti illuminate them at an oblique angle to see them at all. And in some other cases the marking is incomplete. We all have that problem from time to time.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Don't feel like the Lone Ranger

    When I first looked over my Winchester, I literally saw nothing, not a thing, until someone led me by the hand.
