    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.

    So, you want a parts list of what's missing? Screws, wood, bands...you need a page to look at? How about the Numrich page? PARTS LIST FN49 Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts

    Hi Jim
    thanks for that info. really looking for some one who really gets into these rifles, I would not want to make a mistake putting this back together. Found some info with Sarco for wood. seams I need alot of small parts. I got all these parts from a boxed lot i bought of a guy who just called them Mauser. there was over a dozen barrels for Mauser in box which i listed already on gun auction sight.

    Well, you can at least go through the parts list and then you know how much you're missing. The major parts look to be there but you have to assemble it by process of elimination. There IS a lot missing. It's going to cost a bit to restore. You don't look to have the mag box or spring or follower, no gas plug...you have three breech blocks and pistons, only need one of each. The action screws x 2 and the bands and wood... What shape is the barrel? 8MM could mean a rough bore.
    Regards, Jim

    It'll all come out in the final price tally. The biggest thing is doing your parts list and either WTB here for the most of them, or deal with Gun Parts...they should be here though.

    So, you've tried a WTB here? At least these guys will know what you're dealing with and there's a few that like these.
