    disassembly mat

    My photo shows a 1949 dated plastic disassembly mat used for training. Interesting to note the lock bar rear sight which never was replaced completely. There are many variations of the disassembly mat and for a number of weapons tooAttachment 103590

    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 always thought they were neat for trainee use. We never had any such thing...

    What is really interesting is that the later post WW2 disassembly mat did not show the parts for the trigger housing as disassembly by the soldier was
    no longer authorized same thing on the M14icon rifle, Only the armorer could disassemble the trigger housings

    UKicon didn't allow stripping of the FN rifle trigger mech but we insisted on it. We had no issues...same sort of thing.

    Some G.I.'s could take the trigger housing apart and put it back together while others just brought a handful of parts to the Supply Sgt.

    One thing that I did observe was the blindfolded disassembly and re-assembly of the M1icon rifle into the main groups.

    My favorite trick was to remove and re-install the M1 rifle firing pin without taking the rifle apart. I used the M10 tool
