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.

These appear to have been modified, and were similar to, but I'm not 100% sure these are m85...

They show up on ebay every few years...

The last one i saw sold for about $15.00, as no one recognized it.

I believe you can buy conventional bases to mount conventional rings.

thanks for that not for a M85 i think as I have tis type and its does not fit.

I did have a one piece mount but for a 1 inch scope and I sold it on that site for £150. You can use the standard 26 mm PH rings but appreciate the 1 piece mount is better. It is a very rare mount and not often seen

this is the mount I am looking for saw one today but not for sale

Try Norman Smiths Norman Clark Gunsmiths Ltd Address: 19 Somers Rd, Rugby CV22 7DG
Phone: 01788 579651 as Bill Smallwood ex PH gunsmith works there on a friday, they have lots of the PH spares.

That's the one I had for a 1 inch scope

**mossin** · 10-29-2018 02:56 AM

do you still have it? as 1" would work for me if its for sale.
I tried Norman he has two one of each but they are for his rifles.

No sorry, the only thing I do have is a set of PH 26 mm scope mounts but they are mint in a time warp condition in their box

High rings will work (26mm RAHS4, or one inch RAHS3), but the recoil stud/s will have to be removed. They'll be much easier to obtain than the one piece mount. Otherwise, you might be waiting for a real long while for one.
