    Late Springfield Armory rebuilds.

    Am I the only person who really likes the quality of a late SA rebuild? I recently purchased a nice 10/65 fresh rebuild with a Winchester receiver and a 53 dated barrel, throat and muzzle are 0 and .5, nice dark stained new birch stock with a circle "P" and DAS, nice walnut handguards and really nice Springfield dark green park.

    Over the years I have come across four of them and bought all four, they are kinda cool in my opinion. Springfield Armory was shut down by 1968 and all that talent disappeared. Now we live in the world Eisenhower warned us about, where defense contractors profit on war.

    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.

    SA Rebuilds

    I have one like yours, the quality is just fantastic... this one has all the late rebuild features including a tack-welded saw cut gas cylinder. The fit and finish is superb.
    Real men measure once and cut.
