    Weedon Standard

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but am I correct in thinking that the name "Weedon" as applied to the repair standard, refers to the place where the standard/specification was set, and not necessarilly where the actual work was carried out? i.e. different companies were approved to carry out the work, to the specification set by Weedon.

    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.

    Hi Harry.
    I saw this and was hoping someone better qualified would answer. In the absence of this I'll have a go!
    I'm pretty sure you are right. I do know that other companies carried out the 'Weedon repair' (there was about 10 I think, including, if I remember rightly, companies like Greener, Westley Richards etc) but I can't confirm it was originated at Weedon although it seems that the name of the standard is a pretty big clue!

    Regards, Jon

    I have been trying to find a written copy of the "Weedon Repair Standard" for the updating of the Pattern 1914 rifles for some time. There is obviously a written standard since information had to be conveyed to the other Britishicon gunmakers to follow in the upgrade to the "Standard". Has anyone seen a copy of the Weedon Repair Standard? If someone has a copy can they post it? And maybe archive it on the website.

    I sure hope someone can find a copy of the standard. That would be pretty valuable information.
