    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.

    They're the same gun. There shouldn't even be fitting problems, it should be straight across. You shouldn't have to change anything though. The Ruger's just new.

    I have a 1911 that sometimes will not hold the slide open after the last round... Put the same mags in a friends 1911 and they all worked no problem....I have a Ruger coming so I want to swap some parts looking for a solution....Thanks Charlie

    Your inner nub on your slide stop is worn or the dimple the spring *** engauges is too deep. And , contrary to myth , they must be fitted. Last one I had replaced by a gunsmith took at least three , and I'm sure it was four or five , times to get right.

    I've had cases of mags that worked perfectly in my gun go to a friend's gun and they wouldn't go in easily or wouldn't lock the slide back. It's usually a small thing involved though.
