    I can vouch for Roger's repro base - brought one some years back and its a top quality piece of work...

    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.

    PPCo base

    You probably need one of these. Made many years ago by Roger's original machinist (now no longer with us - a great loss). Roger borrowed this as a pattern for new production from a new machinist but Covid intervened.

    Thanks Nige. It was kind of you to lend me the base, although as fate would have it I acquired back one of the Graham's, complete with a matching set of rings he made, so I now have good quality patterns again. Your kindness was much appreciated though.

    For the Lithgowicon H T? I'm afraid I don't. I've never got them made myself because I thought it would be debatable if the market was big enough to make it worthwhile. There are just so few 'spare' Model 1918 scopes around that one could use to put a rifle together. On top of which, there are complete & genuine rifles around to be bought if people really want one badly enough (& have a thick enough wallet!). However, I have heard rumblings from time to time about people intending to do them in Oz - I don't know if anything has ever come to fruition - maybe someone there could shed some light on the matter?

    Good luck with your search!

    Replica Patt.18 rings have been sold on ePay in the past. How accurate they were to the AOC originals is anyone's guess.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    I didn't know that surpmil! I'd seen the No3 T mounts but hadn't realized they have been copied for the Lithgowicon H T.

    Yes; I suspect it would be a labour of love!

    I just checked the mounts on a high mount HT with a No3 T & the rings look very similar if not identical (I did not physically measure them), but the bases will be more fun & games to modify.
