A question from an old post

The same question was asked by another person in an older post, What are the WW1 & WW2differences in the slabsided firing pin knob?

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.

Think you mean the cocking piece.

**P-07ShortLee** · 10-27-2010 02:20 PM

Yes, that's it.

The only mention of a difference I could find was that some have a "rougher" finish, doesn't help much.

Not sure this is definitive but the upper one is a '41 "dispersal" rifle, the lower a '17 SSA.

Are those the correct way around? Dispersals are commonly encountered with No4 cocking pieces (and/or butts).

Yup, I made a mistake. The dispersal is indeed on top but the SSA has a No.4 type piece. I was told that alcohol only kills the weak brain cells but I'm beginning to wonder about that. Nice picture though, huh?
