    N.M. Gas Cylinder DAS marked

    Which NM Gas Cylinders were marked with the DAS in white ink on the bayonet lug ? My feeling is that Gas Cylinders manufactured by SA would not be marked with the DAS but contracted G.C's would be. Just speculation. I never gave it much thought until the question came up on another forum. Hope Bob Seijasicon will see this post and will have an answer for me. 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.

    I've seen a few marked in white (or pale yellow) paint, but don't know the particulars or time period. I agree, it is unlikely that they are SA originals. They are square (vs. round) so are final acceptance marks and so more than likely contractor parts.
    Real men measure once and cut.
