Interesting trigger guard, who made it?

**Jim Tarleton** · 03-29-2009 03:40 AM

Lived on the beach most of my life (Florida, California, and Texas). The swamp has now ruined me. I don't think they will let me take my toys to the beach. Fought the local town to stay out of their ETJ. The boundary is now my west property line:-). I am turning into a redneck.

Chatter? Uncharacteristic of SA.

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.

OK, OK, it's a triggerguard. Did you notice the milling tool chatter in the lightening cut just behind the front TRIGGERGUARD screw hole?

Where's my cane?

I did indeed notice the milling chatter in the front lightening cut. But, I don't know what to make of it.

As far as I can tell, it's an SA trigger guard. But, I don't know when it was made.

Maybe Jim is loopy from breathing a little too much Burgaw swampgas.

You got any idea when it might have been made? And what about the "8", is that just a regular SA thing? Guess I'll use it.

Cheers and pass the swamp gas,

I have no idea when it was made. The "8" is a regular SA thing.

Jim,

If you ever get down to the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, give me a call - I'd love to talk Springfields or Mint Juleps with you.

I love the place.

I have two 1st cousins that live there. If I ever come down, I will email you. It's been a while since I last sat under those fans.
