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.

They are 1903a3 bolts.Could be Remington,but could also be one of the others,Commercial Controls etc.As long as it head spaces it will be fine for a shooter 1903.If you need the 03 to be correct keep looking.

I bought a 03A3 bolt from SG a few years ago. It won't close on a go gauge I tried. Not sure the remedy for that, the rifle is tight. But I did keep it for parts and not sorry I bought it. Something to consider if you plan on using the bolt. HTH

Have heard many anecdotal stories of 03A3s with tight chambers. The fix for this is to ream the chamber a bit deeper until it will close on a go gauge. Or, keep trying bolts. YMMV, of course.

Southern Ohio Guns has/had cheap bolts. The Dealers Warehouse still has a few cheap bolts. Also Springfield Sporters has nice, cheap bolts. Sportsman Guide gouges the customer on shipping, watch out for "hidden" charges.
