    MkI No.32

    Worth watching seems to have been left somewhere for a long time and looking a bit sad, if it sells then better lay low P L or it may find 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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Why oh why do you keep associating me with No32 sights when you know how I feel about it/them. Is it something I have said - or something I haven't said....., yet!

    It would be interesting (to me anyway) if it was possible to uncover some of the story of this particular No 32, and what it went thru to end up in the condition it is now.
    Looks to have few machine screws missing from index plate corners, and guess you'd want to ensure you used plenty of penetrating oil on the screw cradle points before trying to undo
    - Yes, I know I probably used wrong names for the particular screws, im but a interested novice, so don't berate me to hard

    Ex Indian Army without any doubt at all. Screws missing? They're probably sheared off creating another difficult hurdle to any unsuspecting restorer. Buyer beware

    No, you were pretty clear...that one looks to have been a field pickup. Out in the weather yes, bet it was lost for a while.
