1903A4 Trigger Guard

My memory is failing me. Does the A4 trigger guard have a pad just behind the front mounting screw? If someone has a picture that would help.

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.

Hey mark1, check out this thread, should have your answers and it has a few pics. The padded guards were not specific to the A4. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the link. That is what I needed.

Early A4's (Feb 43 thru about May 43) should have small bow trigger guards. About June 43 production transitioned to the large bow trigger guards. I don't know precisely when the "pad" was introduced.
During rebuilds the style of guards used was frequently mixed up with early guards reused on late rifles and vice versa.

regards,

Jim
