    Swap Meet Find: 1903 Trigger Guard

    I happened on a 1903 trigger guard today at the swap meet. it looked odd so I compared it to another I had and it looks like at some point in its life it was ground down not sure. I took a picture the guard I found is the one with the arrow pointing at it. The other is one I had that is a regular Remington 1903 handguard. you can see the difference. A few weeks back I bought a vintage cantilever tool box that had a bunch of rifle cleaning stuff in it when I got home I found a 1903 oiler/cleaning kit maybe these items are from the same place. I'll post that later.

    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.

    USAicon, Back when everyone wanted to build "custom" sporters, this was a common modification. It still has value to the right person.

    I figured as much. I added it to my parts bin never know might use it someday, or sell/trade it for something. Thank!
