    SMLE tool ??

    I have a Foster combination tool and wanted to know if it is for the SMLE? Looks like the other tools I have but it is a little different.

    Thanks

    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 ...

    E Trader,
    I have a similar thread going.
    Got the feeling nobody really knows if it is a SMLE tool or a tool for a similar Britishicon weapon.
    My theory is that the leg with the square hole is used as an Aussie beverage opener.

    Here is my thread.

    Need Help!! Is this an SMLE Combination Tool?

    Hopefully we will get some good information.

    Surely there is no doubt here.......... RM .303" Patt 14 indicates Rifle, Magazine, .303" Pattern 14. End of story!

    The two prong things are for unscrewing the long range sight and the double blade, presumably for the bayonet grip screws - you get my drift - or something else relating to the P'14

    LoC 17837 introduces this 'Action Implement' , along with a bunch of other tools for the P14. Slot might be for hauling the cocking piece back in stripping the bolt.
