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 are Remington sub-inspection stamps from the manufacture process.

Sure is - I was in too big a hurry. A SC stock.

Ok so s/c is the Smith corona? So everything but the stock is Remington?

**emmagee1917** · 04-15-2014 11:58 AM

Your pics arn't detailed enough to tell . Almost all parts by Remington will have a little "R" on them . Bolt under handle , firing pin , f/p sleeve , stricker rod , safety , extractor ( underneath ) , rear swivel assmly , bbl band assmly , stacking band assmly , nose cap , the stock ring in front of the reciever , buttplate ( next to stock , but fine checkering vs wide will tell at a glance ) , mag cut off , rear sight base , block and slide . Your triggerguard is '03 , but could be Remington . Trigger , sear , mag spring and follower would also be marked. Did I miss anything ? Oh , bolt sleeve , front sight , ejector , think that's it .
