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.

The barrel band and sling swivel is one assembly unlike the 1903 barrel band that consists of 3 pieces. For the 03A3 the "R" stamp is on the sling swivel.

Bear - The OP is asking about the 'spring', that retains the barrel-band.

My bad. I didn't know those were marked. I thought the springs with squared off ends were Remington and the rounded end springs were SC and replacements.
