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.

Looks like an Australian icon

M1928A1 with the sling swivel mounted on top of the buttstock

I don't know about Austrailian, I had one that was a Canadian icon

vet bringback that was the same. Front grip had the #1 mk3 center swivel on the right side top. I think it was common for the early ones without the forestock and swivel. They sure have a bit of everything though!

Another modification by British icon

armorers that is seldom encountered is the second sear notch added to the rear of the M1928A1 bolt. This would allow the bolt to be closed on an empty chamber and still use the safety to lock the bolt. Years ago this was sometimes called the paratrooper notch. The M1A1 icon

had the second safety notch in production.

I had a photo showing this modification on a Savage bolt
