    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.

    Your Model 12 riot gun actually dates to 1949. I seriously doubt it is a military contract shotgun. If it was I would think it would have U.S. martial markings. And as I recall, most if not all Model 12 riot guns did not have sling swivels. It's probably just a riot gun ordered with sling swivels or perhaps the swivels were added.

    If you can post photos of the front and rear swivels we might be able to tell if they are the same as the military contract swivels.

    Nothing wrong with a Model 12 riot for home protection. Someone got a good deal.
