    The picture from the manual is correct. Your sling is not slung that way. Note on the rifle side of the sling by the boot , the sewn tail is inside , towards the rifle , not between the loop . The adjuster is spun 180 degrees so that pulling on the end will raise the lockbar.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    In process of restoring a SC 'A3 w/ a Rem 2/44 barrel and new CMPicon stock.
    Original barrel was shot out to .303 dia., and stock looked like it'd been over a fire roosting marsh mellows w/ it.
    Must have been a VFW or other org that shot blanks and didn't clean it, the worst I've ever seen in a USGI Milsurps...
    Will post pictures once it's had it's make over.

    I had purchased a SM that the barrel was shot out and the stock appeared to have a branding iron applied all over it.
    When I bought it he threw in a brand new '44 RA barrel and so I had a friend replace the barrel and ordered a replacement C stock from CMPicon.
    Brought an old war horse back into service.
