Now I know it's Feb or early March.... I don't have the book in front of me, but I have a idea now. Thanks F4Rio

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.

Your serial number looks to be 5653--- which puts it in the 28 March batch of numbers.

The OP's carbine definetly went through rebuild and it looks like a previous owner tried to correct it by adding some W coded parts. Enjoy it for what it is.

I sure will...A very Nice Deal...Very Nice Carbine to go along with that Bavarin RockOla I bought just a few days before the '44 Winchester...I really like this Carbine...and I'm REALLY going to enjoy the Colt I added to the Deal.

Note: Pics will be up and soon as it gets here. With the 5 day Inspection period Im not taking any chances and will have a couple of guys here that collect them look it over.

Just remember that the time from a receiver being stamped and a carbine being built could be from two weeks to two months.

I just received it....

**imntxs554** · 03-30-2016 05:35 PM

I had a hard time posting these, but It did come in once it's get accepted I will be more happy. It's between this or the '42 Winchester.
