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.

Hey Gil, ask Father Christmas to bring me one too!
I think a lot of people would go for a .22lr SLR at the right price.

That set screw slip over flash suppressor looks like one of those gadgets that turned up around the time of the Clinton Assault Weapons ban. Those folks who were not afraid of flirting with a fiasco would sometimes install them on the slick muzzle "post ban" stuff.

Hoping with another member to be able to solve that query, as I have always looked for the answer to a good/reliable .22 conversion fitted to an L1A1 in the customers woodwork or plastic etc to be forthcoming as supplied to MOD in the very earlier days...............ie H&K kit, we'll keep you informed promise

Thanks Gil, sounds good!

John.

Had that happened to a C1A1 on a range I was running, long ago. One of my senior guys was shooting when he heard a loud DING! and found a single 'prong', for lack of a better term, bent up. No evidence of the bullet hitting anything. Asked him why he did it, of course. The rifle was older than the kid so I suspect it was the barrel vibration that broke it.
Gunparts wants $10 for a used FAL L1A1 flash hider. No key or pin. There are no threads. Listed under 'FN'.

OK, the return package arrived in the mail yesterday, and I got her reassembled this afternoon. I am very pleased so far.......looks good, quick turn around and very reasonable labor charge.
Thanks again to all who helped me out here, especially Brian Dick icon

Well done Trooper, looks like a great job!

**Brian Dick** · 07-12-2018 01:57 PM

Now that looks correct. Bruce does a great job. His barelling setup is unique and works a charm. I was there when he turned the taper guage for checking locking shoulder size in his lathe in the early 90's. Let's have a range report when you get a chance and see how these new manufacture barrels are.

**82Trooper** · 07-12-2018 06:29 PM

You got it next week I’m on vacation and I’m going to get to the range at least once I will check back. Thanks again
