    Those help a LOT and are perfect... exactly the shots i need.
    I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help me out.
    What i found online aren't as clear but it would seem to confirm that all the crowns are rounded (like your's)
    It would also seem to indicate that the sleeve on one of my RIC is a reproduction. (pic's in previous post)
    I'll let my guy know and have him turn the crown like your muzzle crown.
    Again, thank you very much.

    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.

    Birdhound I have a Q. Is your rifle rebarrelled. You have a different foresight to Tatou and mine.

    Well my RIC barrel sleeve has arrived.
    Considering the pandemic, the holidays and the stupid long postal delays, the wait wasn't bad.
    Although not a utterly complicated part i'm always amazed at the quality of work my friend is able to do.

    I didn't forget you... my friend is out of commission for a bit and wanted to make this one first and see how it went and fit before accepting to do another.
    This one isn't perfect for me... i made an error with the dimensions i gave him so there is a possibility that i have him make me another one.
    Haven't decided yet... but if i do and if there is a possibility it fits on your carbine, i would let you have it.
    I'll get back to you at a later time.
