    1903a4 scope mount shims

    I bought a few 1903a4 scope mount shims from Numrich years ago and was wondering if these are reproductions, not that it would make the gun not original(possibly). My thought is, should they be curved to match the chamber bridge before they are put on or be flat as sold.

    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.

    As I recall, the scope base shims started out flat when new.
