    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 ...

    Hows the rest of the rifle, is that the only NM part?
    As I understand ( someone correct me if I'm wrong) there were a number or NM rifles loaned to Greece, who they used as standard infantry rifles. When these rifles were returned to the US Army many came back that the only NM part was the barrel . Unfortunately these garands are now just a standard garand with a NM barrel. No more , no less
    This may be what you have?
    Please post more pics

    The front sites, rear sites, (not hooded), gas cylinder, operating Rod are marked "NM" and the front hand guard is glued to lower band. The stock is also bedded and the trigger group has been worked and polished.

    I am still doing a lot of research. I just had the wife mail out $25.00 to the CMPicon for serial number research. Doing my research there are a lot of changes made to a NM M1icon almost every year.

    Receiver is a 1945 Springfield.

    1954 dates are the most common found on Type 2 SA's because they found about 50,000 at Schenectady that gauged tight enough for NM. It has nothing to do with when the rifle was assembled.

    The stock has been refinished but the proofs are viable on the left side and in the grip.

    The Operating Rod is marked "NM" and "7790722 RA".
