    Odd are if you don't have a hit, you better not assume. Nice to imagine though...

    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 ...

    Don`t want to assume anything just don`t know how they were sent out. Did they ever send out blocks of rifles to companies to any ones knowledge? Just ignorant.

    It's generally assumed no.
    To build on Jim's point, these "hits" are typically found in manifests of a certain company/troop/etc. supplies.
    Because of that, if a manifest is found we can pretty much say we know all the rifles that were issued to them. Thus, if this doesn't show up as issued to them in the SRS, it almost certainly was NOT issued to them.

    M1icon C FAN.. from the photos it appears that the rifle has been modified / updated to a Model 1896 (as has mine).

    Thank You Tom in NJ. Yeah, I thought modifications had been done to the sights at least from what I have checked over the years. So would it be just a coincidence then that a rifle with a hit 5 numbers away went to the Dakotas and this one was bought in the Dakotas? Don`t want to beat a dead horse. She is priceless to me no matter the history.

    Yup.

    It's possible it was issued somewhere else in one of the Dakotas...but it almost certainly didn't go to the same place as the others that are recorded.

    You ain't kidding!
    My uncle talks of similar arrangements of foreign stuff in the '80s at the local Coast 2 Coast. If only we had a time machine. Answer some questions and snag some souvenirs while we're at it haha.
