SC bolt?

**mrkurtz** · 03-07-2010 07:06 PM

I am looking to buy my first 1903. The one I'm considering that the owner says has a "7" on the top of the bolt root and "L" on the bottom. I'm not familiar with these markings. Do you know what it is? Thanks

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.

Is the bolt handle swept back slight or "straight"?

It looks slightly swept back. It resides in a 1943 SC receiver and barrel assembly

I am not aware of any bolts which fit that exact description. It could be one of several different bolts. Based on your description, however, the bolt is not likely a Smith-Corona bolt.

Hope this helps.
