    Be careful. That site works fairly well for many serials, but I just tried it with a 4.4 mil NPM. It's totally wrong. It's like Reisch and you will mess up an honest Carbine.

    Don't break up a Carbine or try to correct one without doing it publicly on a Carbine website with experienced people guiding you because someone reading this is going to destroy a valuable Carbine building a cobbled something of lesser value. And don't rely on one individual to guide you. Only a handful of people can cover it all.
    Look at one serial block for example 4,075,010 - 4,432,099. That site says the last serials won't have early features. That's totally wrong.

    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 ...

    Ten offers some great advice. If you have a carbine with a mix of parts that works, why would you take off various parts and maybe make it not work and spend lots of money for parts that may be fake? The end result will be a mixmaster with flaws and fakes. The term "corrected" is the kiss of death for a lot of people. The majority of original carbines are late production guns by Winchester and Inland. They went from factory to storage and were sold back to the public by the NRA. Consider that these guns had all of the latest parts and work very well.

    Well I need parts to get the rifle in working order so looking for correct parts seems like a good idea. However, just getting it in working order also seems solid lol. I need a complete stock, front and rear sights at minimum. Likely need a barrel band as well.

    Fellas, I've closed this thread as it has derailed and the back and forth rather distracting. Please let's try to be more civil with one another.
