    Barelling Machine

    Ever see one of these? It's a fixture to install M1icon barrels, indexes them perfectly. This is a precision machine tool that weighs about 200 lbs. In typical government fashion, it is only intended to put barrels on, not take them off. Ah, but a typical ex-GI found a way to modify it very slightly so it will also remove barrels A long time ago Sarco had three of them for sale, I bought one.

    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 ...

    Screw the barrel on hand tight and insert the assembly into the machine at the far left. There are three sliding levers to tighten the receiver in the exact proper position. Engage the top slot of the barrel with the key in the opening on the right, the indexing arm will register near the lower tick mark (it's all the way down in the photo). Pull the large lever across the front until the index arm mark points to the top mark, it's done

    Neat piece, looks like it was still bolted down though. I'd love to see it set up to make the picture clearer. Would make things easier than using the anglemeter I guess...
