    It was a perceived canted front sight. Not a suspect bent barrel or POI far from POA, he hadn't shot it and there may be NO problem to begin with. Also, we may never know...although he's around.

    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 ...

    I confess that this sort of thing gets on my nerves just a trifle. We do our best to try and help someone, and appropriate feedback is helpful for advising others in the future. But sending advice into a black hole is, to say the least, disappointing.

    Pat,

    Agree with your sentiment. I guess the OP is actually situationally unaware of the social pressure they've placed on asking questions, expecting answers and not responding in reasonable time. It's a common problem I notice both in professional and private environments nowadays. The common response is "...I'm very busy..." when a little reflection actually returns "...you gave me what I wanted and now I'm all right..." Of course, the reciprocity seems to be lost on some (not all). Not condoning it, just reflecting on a common maltreatment of fellow colleagues, friends, workers and knowledge holders.

    Perhaps your well intentioned grumble will actually inspire a few to rethink how they engage in an open forum where it is a privilege to receive others knowledge and learning?

    Let's hope so.
    Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...
