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.

Post it in the WTB and you might be surprised what comes out of the wood work...

**jim222** · 03-12-2015 03:34 PM

Have posted a WTB in that forum, but still no responses.

Maybe no one has one...

Ought not be to hard to fabricate one. A photo of such on a bit of graph paper should be a good start. Mine's buried somewhere (attached to the shotgun). Anybody have one to model?

Tried Sarco yesterday as they sell a reproduction complete heat shield, bayonet assembly. They don't sell just the sling swivel and I couldn't get any information from them about getting just the swivel from their manufacturer.

Try:

East Taylor, LLC
1101 Anderson Road
Statesboro, GA 30458
Ph: (912) 839-4769
East Taylor, LLC, Savannah, Georgia Winchester Trench Gun Bayonet Attachment

They make decent quality M97/M12/Ithaca 37 Trench Gun Hand Guards, and could probably supply you with the Front Swivel Only. Give them a try.

Cheers!

I think he wanted an original...

I would prefer an original, but a repro would work for now if I can get one. Regards, Jim
