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.

6 digit numbers are Inland? 7 digit numbers starting with 33xxxxx are Saginaw S.G. ?? " Union Switch & Signal made 50,052 receivers for NPM. However US&S was late in it's deliveries and to date no documentation on breakdown of ser. no. assignments for US&S-made receivers has been uncovered." per Ruth & Dunn 2009. I'm sure others have better info. GK

Well, if you give us the actual serial number... It will make it much easier.

I think your serial number starts with a 4 and should be 4,3300XX? If so the receiver was made by Union Switch and Signal. The U on the heel of the receiver was to tell who made the receiver for National Postal Meter. The carbine was made late in 1943.
