    Yes correct Ron, amazing price, but someone saw the true value...................... and agreed revert to C3A1 if the barrel speaks its history!!

    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.

    Finally got my M82 R21221 from the seller in Germanyicon. I sent a number of photographs to Ron for his assessement of my rifle. This is as follows:

    Here are my comments based on your pictures:

    P1. Serial number and proofs are correct for M82/C3
    P2. "308 proof" appears to be German and not applicable to M82/C3 - most likely an import requirement
    P3. "A/B" date stamp - 1976 - Very exciting as this the C3 production date
    P4. Front steel base correct for M82/C3. Can't make out the stamp on the barrel That is a letter C
    P5. 7.62 Nato M83/C3 correct
    P6. Rear steel base correct for M82/C3
    P7. Bolt should be black oxide. Is the underside of the knob flat?
    P8 Can read Number in barrel channel
    P9 "15" is a rack number

    The barrel action is M82 and on Charnwood's list. Orginally it was a C3. The stock is not correct. It's a M82 with an Anschutz front rail.

    With a correct stock and Kahles ZF scope you would have a C3 - very rare - very valuable.

    As you can imagine I was really excited to get Ron's assessment and I do now own a C3, well most of one. Special thanks to Ron for taking the time to review the pictures of my C3 and responding in detail.

    I didn't manage to get the pictures in the same sequence as Ron's comments, but you will get the idea!

    Thanks Gil. Unfortunately I don't have a lead on the rifle but my reason for asking is that in response to a WTB request for M82 stock spacers I removed the spacers from my M82 to compare sizes with some others I had. One of the spacers on my M82 has that number on it and it looked to me like a serial number. I wonder if it was originally fitted to a C3A1 as IIRC they had wooden stocks when first supplied by PH to Canadaicon? Shown on left in pic below.

    Cheers, Kev

    Kev,
    I woukl say it was from that rifle, only because it took them three years to convert and restamp these 500 rifles its the way I would have done business to ensure each rifle got its personal service, as I know they did by those that did the conversions.

    Sadly nothing logged in the register with that number.

    00114G is a good C3a1 serial number. This spacer was against the stock butt face as you can see the impression of the spacer retainer. Spacers were marked both in pencil and marker, some stamped as well. Can you show us a picture of the barrel channel (top view) - can tell you whether you have a C3 or C3a1 stock.

    R-52920 is outside the C3 serial range. Most likely a single shot 1200TX. Might make a good clone.
