    1903 rock island nra sporter

    I need help. A friend has what he says is an nra sporter, he sent a few pics that I will post if needed. The serial is 405388.

    Will someone please do a search for me. I've looked up what to look for, star barrel, serial on bolt, lymann sight. Anything else? Hopefully he will bring the gun over today so I can see it.

    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.

    No NRA Sporters were made from Rock Island receivers except those "blanks" that were sent to Springfield after RIA closed down.

    Post the pictures, though.

    Probably he meant NRA sales rifle with the NRA marking on the magazine guard. Check for markings there.
