    Gosh ,Bob - Get that ambition back please !!!
    Us guys really crave such info.
    I know, I know, it is a SICKNESS for me!!!

    I really have always appreciated the time and effort that you and others have invested for the rest of us in digging out this info and then sharing it openly.

    I truly intended to pursue some kind of original research on a few aspects of the M1icon Garand seven years ago when I began drawing S.S. and I had more time, but things come up and laziness sets in.

    My dad always told me that I'd be too lazy to breathe if I wasn't afraid of dying. Now at my age I have to concede that he may have been right about that.

    Thanks so much again. I'm adding this info to my data base.

    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.

    There is a collector by the name of Brian Case, he collects data on Lend Lease rifles and I understand has over 200 data sheets, he is still collecting data.

    Now data on Lend lease rifles is sometimes broken down into groups as follows:

    1. the original group of 38K rifles with BNP proofs 2. rifles with the BNP proofs between the gas cylinder rings. 3. Rifles with London proofs either location

    I checked a few of my old data sheets in an attempt to find a Type 1 lock bar Lend lease rifle and located the following but would require Brian Case to verify.

    s/n 540534 BNP proofs rear of barrel under op rod, Type 1 lock bar s/n 539967 BNP proofs between gas cylinder rings Type 1 lock bar

    I had 328219 SA with the crown on the receiver and marks under the op rod. Had flush nut... That was how I originally started here was researching that rifle for originality.

    I believe the earliest Lend Lease serial number located is 316819 but something could have surface since this serial number.
