    Geoff, if you do end up making a small run of the short arms for the IWS bracket I'll gladly purchase one from you. I have had one of the longer 'J' shaped arms of an original bracket kicking about for ages, & don't in fact have a complete one myself. However, no worries if it's not possible, the other bits are more important. Have just wrapped up the gash Mk1 & Mk3 tubes for you.

    Best.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Personally speaking........ I'd like to have seen a tad more input into the forum from Dan before we embarked on this aid. Sorry to say it, but 1 note on the forum and that was request - and bugger all since or forthcoming and forumers bending over backwards.................. Yep, I'm guilty of a part of the giving in this instance too. But these forums should be all about give and take with the...........

    The Bren Forum is even worse for transient joiners wanting this that and the other and then............... nothing. Just something that doesn't ring true with the spirit of a forum

    Just to clarify, one rail was sold to BigDuke as in spec, the other one was a freebie as it was marked as being out of spec. and he's one of those people who can make metal change shape.

    'Out of spec' in this context doesn't matter and is academic really because generally speaking the IIW brackets are just filling a space in a box to look the part as opposed to being used in earnest somewhere

    No worries, purely spur of the moment. Just so it's clear what I have to pay as well.

    Yes, there is that option as well Peter, but they'd have to be marked as such somehow.

    "Great minds..." as they say!

    ARMS 30mm rings by the look of them.
