    Dial plates - help.

    Some time back on one of the Enfield fora, some kind soul posted a picture, or web page of all the various volley sight plates that were fitted to Enfields.

    Now, I know I saved it, but can I find it? of course not.

    Anyone got a copy, please?

    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 ...

    Does this mean you are planning to replicate LES 2 dial plates, or am I reading too far between the lines?

    That's amazing.............. Who'd have even guessed that there were 12 variations of such a small and probably unused bit of kit?

    We have thought about it, but the engraving would be an expensive process. We have a solution in mind but the present financial climate does not encourage speculation.

    The figures could always be applied by a transfer, but I can hear the groans of disapproval from here.

    At the moment I cannot see them being offered for less than £100 each, including pointer, washer, pivot and fixing screw.

    Thanks for the reply. I can fully understand the forseen problems with such an undertaking.

    I reckon there is a market at £100 as one just sold on Ebay (item 300309441843) for £103 / $152
