    Depends on what it is. Of course I'd pay that for something worth more than 1800.
    And you have that right. I've already gone the "I want one anyway" route and finally decided I don't need to be able to supply a whole platoon of infantry and sold a bunch, focusing on those I want to keep and shoot.

    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 ...

    Fellow member Floyd the cat noted seeing these bent swivels on the Italianicon returns.
    I've also seen a number of them posted by new owners on Redditt sub forums.

    Wondering what type sling hook or snap that may have been used. All the Swivels we've seen are bent in this same manner.

    Odd, I hadn't seen any one reddit, but I'd heard there were a few weird pieces popping on some other Italianicon returns (think I've seen talk of the buttplates on the CMPicon forums). If anyone ended up trying to do more detailed research on them, feel free to contact me for specific measurements or different pics. I'm probably going to swap it for a known usgi one and put it in storage for now.

    Attachment 118537One here from The Carbine Collectors Club Forum that appears to be bent in the same direction.
    You'll have to zoom the pic up to see the detail.
    Maybe best to open picture in a new tab and mag up to 500%

    Post link: New here and to M1 Carbines - The Carbine Collector's Club - Page 1

    BTW, I put a link over there to your bent swivel.
