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.

As far as I am concerned, it is military - as is the later 20T but I've got my steel helmet on and await incoming mortar fire........................!

But if it is in dispute............ I'll wait for the rest of the replies

Hi Simon ...

You might want to try the Google CSE custom search engine located in the top right corner below the words "Advanced Search". For example, in your case, type in the words 19t and see what happens ..

I only had a quick look, so I'm not sure what the exact content is about, however, it turned up a number of threads.

Regards,
Doug

I always thought military as done during proof at Enfield.

It's also on the bolts in both the 1971 and 1979 L42A1 sniper rifles shown in the MKL icon

If you put the bolthead on a rifle in a commercial context you would need to get it proved all over again at one of the Proof Houses (who will do it at 20 tons now)

**Peter Laidler** · 03-10-2012 02:23 PM

Unless you put it onto a shotgun bolt....... or would you?

**Mk VII** · 03-10-2012 02:27 PM

Yes, you would. Any change of pressure bearing parts like that requires reproof (unless you keep it yourself and don't transfer it to anyone else).

I just took in a bunch of .303 No4s and one of them had London proofs on the Bolt, Barrel & Action but the bolt head had the 19T proof mark with no other visible Proof house marks.

I might keep this one as the Serial No is PF 303###, I tend to keep 303 related items.

3 Enforcers and 2 Envoys plus spare bolt head all have the "19T" proof mark.
