    Newly aquired 03-a4 reald deal, need help

    I bought a real O3-A4 a few weeks ago complete with scope. I would like to post some pictures of it but, I dont understand how on this forum can some one walk me through the process?? I am very new to the O3-A3 rifles, had a fellow friend help me with the purchase, was pestered to death the rest of the day to sell it. I still own it and plan on keeping it. It was a walk in at a major G.S.


    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.

    when you recieve this reply lick on the word "quote" at the bottom of the box.
    That will openn a screen with a copy of this message and a toolbar at the top. One of the buttons looks like a paper clip (attach) - click on it.
    that will open a box entitled "manage Attachments" with about 10 lines on it. Each line has the word "Browse" on the right side. Just click on "Browse" and go to the folder where your pics are stored. select the pic you want and upload it to the site. (Note: this technique had some limitations on the number and size of the files.) Its best to use small Jpeg files.

    You can still use a photo hosting site like Photobucket and paste the image URLS to your messgae.

    Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Another pic

    I will try to desribe it best as possible. All parts are coded Remington on the rifle itself, everything is parked except scope and buttplate. Stock is C config. with no arsenal marks or proofs, only a "K" code in safety relief. Scope is post rectile 330, which, may be contoversial?? for the gun, barrel is dated 9-43. What do I have? Arsenal rebuild? Parkerized finish matches all components, color, age, etc.

    thanks alot for the photo help

    What is the serial number of that puppy? Looks like a winner from what I can see. Post some more pictures of it.

    Jim the serial number is 3424224, and the other pics I tried to upload said they were too large for the format, so I retired until I can take some more.

    thanks alot for all the help, it is still difficult for me to navigate here.
