    Dan, the M-1917's were carried by two members of the 75th Rangers, IIRC. One of the Rangers told me that his rifle was brand-new, still covered in cosmolineicon and wrapped up like a mummy. Took him half the day to field strip and clean his weapon prior to placing it into service.

    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 ...

    WOW, man I would love to get pics or other info about this, would be a very very interesting addition to the known history of this rifle.
    Wonder if I can get ahold of any historical info from them, will give it a shot and see what I come up with.

    Many thanks

    Dan
