    That's an interesting implementation of the safety. I do agree the design and craftsmanship of these old rifles are remarkable.

    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.

    In my above post, I was talking about the cartridges, i believe the 22 Remington auto cartridge is different from the 22 Winchester auto cartridge

    not interchangeable between the two rifles ?

    I believe you’re correct.
    The Winchester and Remington round will not interchange. Nor will the Winchester 1903 or Remington 16 work with 22 long rifle.

    The theory for both was to prevent use of black powder 22 ammunition in the precise machined semi-auto actions.
