    Looking For Owner of USN Trophy Rifle

    Would like to contact the owner of an IHC M1icon Navy Trophy rifle serial number 5087250. It should be the standard 30 caliber M1 version, possibly with O- 65, 66 or 67 electo-penciled on receiver indicating USMC rebuild. I have come into possession of some information on this particular M1 that I’m sure will be of interest to the current owner. If you send me a PM please be patient as I forget to look for them.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Bob-
    Thank you for the suggestion. I have taken advantage of Jim Adell's free service in the past but it will not help as he can only be able to verify if it is a trophy rifle. In this case, I know the rifle was a trophy and even who the awardee was. Unfortunately the rifle has changed hands at least once since being won in 2001. The trail is adnittedly cold.
