    Reproduction Shtle MkI Backsight Protector

    Is there currently anyone making reproduction SMLE/Shtle Mk I Backsight Protectors which are available?

    I saw some for sale on ebay out of Finlandicon of all places a while back.
    I have one reproduction example I picked up with no markings of any kind on it but now that Prestigious Wood Stocks has reproduced the Mk I Rear Hand Guard I wanted to find out what's out there in the market.

    Also is anyone reproducing the Top Backsight Protector Screw and Side Backsight Protector Screw so it is possible to assemble a complete hand guard?

    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 ...

    You may want to try this place:

    WW1 1914 -1918 (An ANZAC Perspective)

    I stumbled onto this site one day, and found the Mk I* rear protector buried under a "WW1" tab. I have not ordered anything from this company, and had no dealings with them.

    Best of luck!

    VMA leather claims to include the repro rear sight protector with their stock set. I haven't received the stock yet so I can't confirm whether or not it's included.

    Interesting, so that's one source.
    BVZ24 are you ordering one of their stocks in?
    Looks nice, I'd be interested in how it compares to say the Prestigious Wood Stocks Mk I wood.

    I am ordering a stock in. It just hit US shores yesterday, so I might start fitting sometime this week I hope.
    Never ordered from prestigious, but I notice a lot of repro stocks are too small in the trigger guard area.
