    Sorry ...I thought it one of those "picture editing" tricks to eliminate the serial number, as is often seen.

    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 ...

    Honestly, I would not shoot it at all. Those Nat Ords have terrible reputations.

    if indeed its a cast receiver then its not safe to fire with live ammo.
    the target sight has more value then the rest,, sad to say

    Salvage what you can and ditch the receiver! Looks like some Smith Corona bolt parts on it....

    Tough news to take. Probably needs time to figure this one out.

    It's always a tough pill to swallow but you'll eventually get a dud or three if you collect anything long enough. I've not had any real nasty surprises yet... overpaid a bit perhaps but nothing dangerous or not as advertised. For me it's never about the money, it's that feeling of "oh crap"
