    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.

    According to the parts list, the authoritative bible in the event of any dispute, then the part is assembly B1/CR 63 SA (for sub-assembly) which consists of the lever locking (CR340) and the safety catch (CR343). That is the only one listed for the No4 Mk2 rifle. But...... In the real world of Armourers shops around the world where we want the stuff in, fixed properly and back out into the hands of the soldiers then any one of the several variables is as good as any of the others!

    The safety catch is pretty standard but the 'correct' lever has a rounded thumb part, serrated around the top which is approx .25" wide

  7. Thank You to Peter Laidler For This Useful Post:

    The safety pieces may not be marked with the part numbers indicated by Peter, but they should be marked with an "F" on each.
