    Springfield 1903 USMC rifle

    I have had this rifle for quite a long time, at the time of purchase, I was doing a lot of M1icon Rifle and Winchester M70 NM shooting. I remember checking the headspace and firing a few round rounds. This rifle still looks good after being rebuild. Bolt is B1 and barrel is Sedgley 9-41, notice the barrel looks to have a blue tint ? Stock is without a cartouche.
    I am glad that I just put the rifle away and did not use it.Attachment 92080Attachment 92081Attachment 92082Attachment 92083Attachment 92084Attachment 92085Attachment 92086

    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.

    I guess my 4-digit S/N '03 is wall art even with Remington's "Managed Recoil" cartridge?

    four digit rifles

    I bought these receivers on the CMPicon auctions and built them up with parts/barrels
    and stocks. More fun to build them as pre or WW1 period rifles rather than sell off the
    parts. Receivers are original color as received. Attachment 94778Attachment 94779Attachment 94780

    I do shoot them with a 30-06 chamber adopter 32 ACP/32 S&W and 32 S&W long, nice
    and accurate at pistol range distance
