    From memory, NPM used (at different times in production) a P proof only, a P and punch and a punch only.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Mine has an IBM barrel and it has the P (probably from IBM) with the NPM punch mark near the P.

    It has always seemed weird to me to screw a new barrel onto a test receiver and then without chambering the new barrel, fire a proof round and mark said barrel with a P before unscrewing it and packaging it for shipment. Was that the way they did them Wayne?

    No Idea how the barrel manufacturers proof fired barrels. (vise, goggles, gloves, hammer and nail? ) CCNL's 199, 371, 336 and 384 all have good info on the barrel proof marks. Apparently from a Carbine Inspectors meeting held on 21 Sept 1942 it was stated that every barrel manufactured on a prime contract must be proof fired at the point of manufacture, these barrels were proof marked again by the prime when they test fired the completed carbine. This requirement was eased up a bit sometime in 1943 where only barrels made for spares would need to be proofed by the barrel maker at the point of manufacture and the barrels going to prime contractors would only need to be proofed by the prime when the carbine was assembled.
