Being a volley sight forend wouldn't it be too early for coachwood?
The '13 butt would have to be walnut.

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.

The wood is a little too early for coachwood, it certainly looks walnut. I've got my doubts its original from the HT convertion. Could have been a rebuild from a sporter.

Most of us here have Skennerton icon

's book/s on the Lee Enfield so its really no biggy to ask for a reference check, your rifle is listed on page 321 the mount is an M type date to store was 26/6/1945 which means the war was in its death throes Germany icon

was defeated and Japan icon

was only a few weeks away from getting 2 good doses of Western technology of the day.

So I am in line with it may have been in the process to have a scope fitted but remained scope less due to the progress of the war.

It’s your lucky day,
A Pattern 1918 AOC scope has just come up on ozgunsales

Thank you for pointing that out mate I appreciate it.
Also to the lads mentioning the EBay scope also.

And down the financial rabbit hole I go!
Lobbed bids on line at one scope and just left a voicemail with this gentleman.
Fingers crossed!

Would anyone have any possible idea as to the markings located under the rifle as shown in the pictures that "Musketballs" posted on the previous page of this thread?

**henry r** · 10-20-2017 11:16 PM

the one on ozguns is a low mount.

two scopes coming up for sale right when you get your HT... it's like it was meant to be.

**BLAAA303** · 10-20-2017 11:40 PM

Just on the "high mount/Low Mount" are they compatible after chatting with Ian he stated that mine is a high mount?

Pardon the ignorance but been running from my handset the last few days and haven't been able to get to a PC and have a more thorough read up.

FYI the old girl now has a set of eyes thanks to the 3 Gents in here who took the time to give me a heads up as where a scope was available, she's not perfect but she's a genuine high mount and its a start until something better pops.

Any Pictures ?

**harry mac** · 10-22-2017 10:50 AM

Bugger pictures. I want nothing short of a full range report. WITH pictures.
Chuffed to bits this seems to have all come together.
