You have a Model 1917 not a P17.

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.

any updates??? curiuos as to how well and how fast your 40.00 smith job was..

The job is done and the index lines are now perfect. When I was picking it up one of the guys there (don't know if he worked there or was just hanging out) gave me his number and offered $550 for the rifle. I am thinking of giving him a call as I just picked up a P14 this weekend. I do thank all of you for all your help and education though.

But...how does it shoot now?

**jessehh** · 10-02-2013 03:40 PM

Sorry but I went to the range today to sight in and round test my new .22. I only had 6 rounds of 30.06 left and shot 2 rounds which hit 3" high and about 1" left. Made a small adjustment and the next two hit 3" up 1" right. Halved my adjustment back and was 3" up and slightly right. If I had more ammo I would have moved back to 100 and fine tuned it and then played with the flip up sight. Thanks again guys.
