    Looking for the 1903 rifle that marries up to my Warner-Swasey 1913 scope

    I just picked up a nice W-S 1913 scope (S/N: 7616) with original mount, case and base that was issued to SA 1903 S/N: 936514. It's a long shot and I suspect the odds are greater for winning the PowerBall Lottery but what the heck, I enjoy a challenge. I'd like to find (if it wasn't dumped over the side of a ship, sent out as a MAP weapon or eaten by Capt'n Crunch) it's original receiver. I've missed a few plugged receivers on the CMPicon Auction and GB so I'd also be interested in any original plugged receiver for that matter. Any leads sure would be appreciated. Thanks

    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.

    Do you have rifle 935.336 or you have heard of it? I'll add it to my W&S documentation and will get back to you if I come across a match. The chances however are very small. If it helps, the scope to this rifle serial should be in the 7XXX serial range (all 9XX.XXX M1903 snipers for the W&S have had a scope with a 7XXX serial).
