    Stock bolts

    Hi

    Trying to fit a replacement walnut butt to my SMLE and found the stock bolt is about an inch too short at 5" long. Am I correct in thinking the Long Lee stock bolts are longer than the SMLE ones and are the threads the same?

    Thanks for any information.

    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.

    You're correct on both counts. The Long Lee stock bolt is 6.25" and the same thread.

    I understand the Martini Henry stock bolt is also the same thread, not sure about length.
    If you need a long Lee stock bolt I expect Phil Rose would have one; PM me if you need his contact details.
