    Just acquired SA/EMcF

    It has been more than a year since I bought an M1icon. I am still learning, and you guys have helped me learn more. I hope I am getting better at IDing good M1's. This is my latest buy. Opinions are requested. Thank you.

    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).

    Nice rifle...the cleaning kit in the butt should be one of those plastic containers and the cleaning rod with the M10 handle. That goes in a little canvas bag...

    Very nice rifle! Everything appears to be right on the money, minus the rear sight? To my eyes that appears to be a type III lock bar but your serial number would require a type II. In the grand scheme of things, that's a pretty easy thing to correct if you so choose.

    I have an M1icon in the same serial range as yours (s/n 1165760). Here's a photo of the rear sight attached to that rifle.

    Very nice and I would like to know if it has a lower butt plate screw shifted to the left like many I see even a 100% correct one that was in the GCAicon. I have been researching this for along time and find GHS and EMcF with 2S marked plates on 100% correct rifle. I have seen a few that changed it out thinking these only belong on Winchester and they are dead wrong. Thanks,,Rick Bicon

    Okay, here's the butt plate. the butt of the rifle has two, what appear to be purposeful marks above the holes. Anyone know anything on those? Not sure what a left angled screw would look like.
