    Stumbled across this M1903A3 in Dallas last week.

    This was hidden on a rack with other misc rifles. It's been wiped down, but still has cosmolineicon in nooks and crannies. Well, I just realized the proof stamp on the stock didn't get uploaded and I can't figure out how to add it. But, it only had one circled "P" stamp.

    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.

    Wow! I'm impressed!
    It went through the Ogden Arsenal rebuild and seems to have retained its original blued parts. They didn't parkerize the whole thing!

    I think it was simply inventoried at Ogden. "Rick the Librarianicon" says that while they did rebuilds at Ogden they also inspected and inventoried unissued guns. The Ogden stamp isn't boxed or similar to the rebuild stamps found on the M1903.com website.

    If you don't mind what did you have to give for it? I have one just like it including the OG stamp.
