Today's MG question

Here is a part I have just had laser cut. It is from 3mm thick mild steel and the centre leg has yet to go through a forming die prior to final fitting. No prize but good kudos to the person who can guess what it will become!

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.

If your having it made I guess it's a rare item, a part for an automatic Enfield conversion?

**Woodsy** · 02-09-2017 03:31 AM

No, not a part for a auto Enfield conversion. If it was something like that I would soon whip one up, but this is one of a batch of 50 I have had cut and maybe more to follow.

**Brit plumber** · 02-09-2017 01:50 PM

Hmmmm, well that means that they're either consumable parts like locking washers or maybe that they form something larger like an ammo belt.

**Woodsy** · 02-09-2017 02:44 PM

No, it is a part of something I have been developing and am just getting into production. The original was in production more than 100 years ago.

**Flying10uk** · 02-09-2017 02:46 PM

Is it part of the feed mechanism for a Vickers MG?

**Woodsy** · 02-09-2017 02:49 PM

No, not for a Vickers.

**Brit plumber** · 02-09-2017 02:58 PM

Well if it was 100 years ago then it must be an MG that's been out of service for quite some time and one that is probably common amongst collectors so I'm thinking Maxim MG08, Colt/Marlin potato digger, Hotchkiss, that French icon

thing or maybe a Lewis?

**Flying10uk** · 02-09-2017 03:00 PM

That leaves me to suggest the Russian icon

1910 Maxim then.

**Brit plumber** · 02-09-2017 03:05 PM

Forgot about our Russian icon

friends.
