**Milwroad** · 04-24-2009 09:53 PM

Can someone help me. Would carbine 1815675 be an IP carbine or a Saginaw S'G'. Was my Marine raider uncle's in WWII.

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.

It could be either.

What does it say just above the serial number?

Could be both. Rule of thumb for S'G'/IP guns. If it is a 1.7 then it will have 60% IP parts. If 1.8 then 60% S'G' parts. Discounting any rebuilds or restorations.

No one is right or wrong when Saginaw guns are involved.

Don't know what it says above serial # because I do not have it. Found this number in his service record where it said he was issued an M1 icon

carbine. Marine Raider, machine gun section leader , KIA. Been looking for the receiver for years, but thought all along I was looking for IP only to realize it might be S'G'
