    Enfield Butt Tag

    Hello All,

    I was at a local gun show this past weekend and a 1942 #1 MK 3 with a wire wound stock also followed me home.
    No pictures yet but will get them up, maybe tomorrow.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Used for Grenade launching the wire wrap stiffens and supports the stock, or depending on how its wrapped and with what wire could be a farmers fix to a bust stock!

    "...Used for Grenade launching..." And as line throwing guns on the Navy's big boats. That one is an Ishapore rifle.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Hi,

    I am not doubting your assessment of my rifle but I want to know what makes it an Ishapore?

    Thanks for the information,

    Gil

    Not an expert, is it me, but does'n't some of the metal work, including the nut, and the stamps and stock fitting look a bit too crude. It does resemble one of those hand made Afghanistan rifles. In either case they also bring fairly good money on the market as a curio. However if it turns out to be one I would not want to shoot it, Ray
