On Friday, I received in the mail my goodies from Mr Schlickman (fast shipper!!). I have all the repro parts installed, looks great, fit perfectly. Only thing left is to find some springs for the back sight wings. I will keep an eye on the usual sites for something that will work.

J-ROD: Thanks for the suggestion!

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.

If you’re handy, have a set of tin snips, small vice and metal files, you can make springs from hacksaw blades. I can send you pictures that will get you close to final fitting.

PS, Don should start giving me kickbacks…I refer a lot of business to him. Haha. Kidding aside, he’s a huge asset to the Japanese icon

collector community.

I second posting your urushi experiment…I’d love to see what it looks like when done.
