    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.

    The pawl was replaced at a depot along with the rest of the assembly.

    I have seen them with c clip retainers. Never saw one pinned. Yours is the first.

    My GI one has a pointed tensioning screw, and a lock nut holding the pawl on. There are other differences, so I think it is a commercial one. If it is GI, it is different from the one I have.

    Thank you Bill for conferming my suspicions. And to think I only paid $25 for it.The commercial ones I have seen have a one piece base.This one is two pieces. The end with the pin is a seperate piece.GK
