Help with Lee Metford

**JamesB** · 06-27-2010 04:50 PM

I recently acquired a Lee Metford ( No 1 Mk II*) rifle. It was a DP rifle in the past and the firing pin was cut, bolt face was damaged and extractor assembly removed. Also the magazine appears to be from a more modern model.
does anyone know of a source for replacement parts?

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.

You know it would be such a help if EVERYONE posted what country they live in. With todays crazy regulations on mailing/importing/exporting of guns/parts it would be much easier to help everyone who needs anything if they would list their country in their profile.

I am a bit confused. A No.1 Mk.II* is not a Lee Metford, it is a Lee Enfield, though it could have been converted from a Lee Metford Mk.II or II*. Is your rifle in short or long configuration?

Why was it made a DP rifle ?

If you dont know then is it safe to 'Un-DP' it ?
