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.

It's hit or miss on WRA barrels. Lots of fakes out there, so beware. I got burned, a few years ago. It was before I knew what to look for.

Samw here I got burned a couple months ago before I knew what to look for as well. Do your homework and it will save you some $

The Babcock book that you were talking about, any Winchester barrel photos in the book ? The long and short pads, long and short splines and barrel markings ?

A phone call to the right guys can usually turn up something. Prices I have seen/heard asked and sold both auction and private sales.

Grade III ....lots a use, some pitting, high T and M readings. 225-300
Grade II...good serviceable, nice bore markings, good T and M readings. 375-550
Grade I ...excellent to new. T and M readings close to 1. 650-950 M

I'm told that one individual has received three WRA WWII barrels on CMP icon

non WRA barreled receivers!.. And a Norwegian icon

made M1

barrel on another.

I have a 2.4 SA that has a MINT Win barrel on it, came from CMP icon

some years back.

Ebay has 'em from time to time. Don't just check for WRA or Winchester. Also do a search on rifle barrels. I pick up a WWII Win on one occasion as the guy listed it as a Garand icon

Barrel. Said it was marked on top as being made in 1948. The pic showed a partial stamping. Took a chance and purchased it for $50. Yep, WRA barrel. What he took for a "1948" stamping was a partial drawing number for the barrel. Also had the pin prick and WP oval, which he totally ignored.
