    Another N. Store adoption

    Took a friend to Port Clinton for his Birthday last week. Was looking for a NPM for myself. Well here's what followed me home.



    Ended up with 2 coming home with me.
    The top is the Saginaw SG which was just ugly sitting on the rack. The original potbelly stock had big greek labels all over it and it looked like they varnished over them! I did switch stocks for an old Standard Prod. and it cleaned up very nice. Typical mix master but it's a keeper.

    The NPM I chose because it had an IBM barrel. Don't know why that made the decision but it did . Anyway, the stock was a horrible red varnish which took a few days to remove to find just a hint of a CC with IO in the well and .U. on the stock. Upon tearing it down to remove the cosmo I discovered that this one is IBM 100%. (even the recoil plate) I've heard of rebarreling but this one seems to have been rereceivered? Anyway, also picked up the required 30-06 for the big guns and also picked up 3 magazines. One of which turned out to be a perfect I-IP!! Don't think I'll ever afford to get the gun to match though

    By the way they both land just a hair over 1 MW.

    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.

    IBM had help from Auto Ordnance for receivers.........
    Makes you wonder.......If NPM might have passed along receivers as well?
    Enjoy your new finds.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I kind of doubt that NPM would have passed along any receivers. They were always scrounging receivers from others; Inland lineout NPM, IBM lineout NPM, Underwood lineout NPM, etc....
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
