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.

The first serial number of 1929 was in the 1.3 million range.

Sounds like an armory re-barrel to me.

I have two Springfield rifles that both have SA 7-29 dated barrels. I am rather sure these barrels are original to the receivers. One rifle is 1373022 and the SA 7-29 barrel has the star gage on the muzzle plus the other data and the other rifle is 1321534 with a standard SA 7-29 dated barrelAttachment 103939 Attachment 103940

Can you get pics of this? A 1.02 with a 1929 re barrel sounds like it could be a Marine rebuild. The Marines received replacement barrels at that time and that serial range is very classic Marine Corps.
