    Picture of the internals marked L (Links / Left) for a left-hand Zwilling gun. I assume the parts in a Right / Rechts gun would be a mirror image.


    There are still various other parts to free up, but I think I’ve broken the back of it. Slightly strange to think I’m the first person in 80 years to see it like this.

    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.

    On the home stretch now. That’s the ejector assembly completely dismantled. I have also cleaned up the two feed levers. This leaves the front receiver locking catch and the middle feed shoot locking catch on the top cover, but I am minded just to leave those alone due to the risk of damaging them while trying to get them apart. The feed shoot catch is already moving freely.

    The internal parts have very little corrosion, which I would put down to them being tucked away and protected by original grease.

    I think everything is mechanically functional enough to go on a non-firing display gun. As for a live firing gun - the ejector assembly and some other small parts might still be functional, but new springs would probably be sensible.
