    SWP 45 rifle

    I was just searching the web for info on these rifles and came across some post here from 2010. At that time, one poster said the highest serial found so far was 87685a.

    Mine is 88882a. It has gone through a refurb somewhere, but there isn't much to indicate where or when. It has a correct mismatched bolt and a jumble of small parts, all nicely blued, but no numbers. The rifle has a cleaning rod and bayonet lug, milled trigger guard and floorplate. The (probably?) walnut stock is in good shape and has MK-2 stamped on the rh side down near the cupped buttplate.

    I thought maybe someone is keeping track of these serials, so I posted this info.

    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.
