    Pics of Wire Wrapped GL rifles serial # G1 and G2

    Jon Ansley kindly provided his G2 rifle for photographs this week end. This raises more questions than answers. Typical for Britishicon Collectors.

    G1 is a former NRF 1918 No.1 MkIII* serial #S75045 cancelled.

    G2 is a former Enfield 1903 No.1 Mk1*** serial #58A cancelled. Wood and metal, EY marked.

    I have more G series GL rifles and they are all No.1 Mk1*** variants.

    Perhaps there are two different series of grenade launchers. Same wrapping technique but different rifle models?? Or were the first couple examples and the rest followed?

    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.
