    Probably the previous owner removed the safety to fit a target sight and never refitted it. If you know what to look for, it is probably around the house somewhere. The late safeties are rather unique in the large size of the relief hole in the center of the 'knob', and the precisely cut 'finger grooves'. The black paint might help pinpoint it as well.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Ok Gents, here some pictures:







    There is a small ding in the side of the stock. It looks like the part that secures the safety has actually been broken off as you can see in the last picture. The gun may have been banged into something causing the ding and braking the part.
