    No. 32 Scope Date

    What is the last year marked on the tube of a No. 32 Mark 3 scope (1946)?

    Thank you all.

    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.

    Yes, never seen a UKicon made scope dated later than 1946. (The very last of the Kershaw Mk3's are 46 dated). I believe the contracts between the government & H&H finally finished in April of that year. I know that some scopes made/reworked by foreign governments were dated post-war, though.

    Not sure about REL Mk3's - some are dated 1945 & some are undated. Serial No 1-C is definitely dated 1945. Never heard of a 1946 example, but there may be someone out there who knows differently....
