    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.

    11-42 with a type 2 band???!!! I don't think so! I wouldn't touch this one with a 10 ft. pole. Pictures don't tell what needs to be seen. Should have a T1 band. Where are pics of the Winchester proof? I want to see better pics of the band as well. Is it a cut off T3? So few pics..... Not the correct front sight either.

    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Dated Winchester carbine barrels are pretty rare and there is picture of the WRA proof mark on one of the last pics that looks totally legit. Certainly the seller did themselves no favors in the bits and pieces description, meaning is he saying it's a type 2 barrel or a type 2 barrel band? The bottom line is that despite the errors it's going to sell for some decent money.

    I agree about the WP proof, it's there. Where is the W? I would be alert with the ordnance bomb not being on the side of the gas cylinder, it looks like the front sight has been off, so the type 2 might be an add-on.

    With the N marked front sight and the fake type 2 band, its plain that this is not worth the money. But the bomb proof normally found on the gas cylinder is on the barrel above the cylinder area. I also think the barrel has been refinished.
