    US Navy Model 1917 Cutaway

    This cutaway was salvaged from a dumpster at the Chicago Great Lakes Navy Training Facility many years ago according to the man I bought it from.

    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 ...

    Thumbs up

    Most interesting, I would love to have one of those.

    Little known was the the Seabeas were equipped with the 1917.

    Out of curiousity I pulled up my copy of the SRS.
    Going with a serial number starting with a 2 and ending with a 5 or 6, I found a few interesting hits:
    23715E 052318ORD DEPT INSP DIV
    25736E 032619INSP OF ORDNANCE WRA CO
    208896E 051018CAMP HANCOCK (TEST)

    Impossible to confirm but fun to speculate.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Very interesting. Not a surprise as they started as civilians and only were inducted after pressure and necessity.
