    3-36 star gauged barrel

    I picked up a low numbered R.I. receiver with a SA 3-36 star gauged barrel on it, unfortunately the reciever has been drilled so it's pretty much junk and there a two plugged holes where a scope block was screwed on the barrel. I have a couple questions, could the scope block holes be factory? (arsenal?) and providing the bore is decent what would it be worth roughly? I haven't seen one of these on the loose and am curious what anyone has seen. Thank you

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.

    If you can post SERIAL # and PICS I'm sure someone will chime in to help you out.

    Interesting! While I can't help you with your questions, I also had a 103,000 SA that appeared to be all original except for a 1938 Star Gauge barrel. No idea why the newer barrel was fitted, except possibly by a former civilian owner after the original barrel wore out.

    It was a nice-looking rifle, but I had to sell it to fund my NM 1903 purchase last fall. Hated to part with it.
