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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Why not convert a centerfire bolthead? Bore one out and then press or thread a sleeve into the center that contains the offset captive firing pin. Haven't tired it, as there hasn't been a need, but it SEEMS straightforward enough. (I have done worse, but not to a milsurp rifle.)

You might need to anneal the bolt head first before you bore it. THere's no need to harden afterwards, they're pretty tough. My pal did one for his shot out No4. Ruined a couple but eventually got it perfect. He made the CHS very tight and just adjusted the bolt face rearwards to get it perfect on the go/no-go gauge. Go for it............

Given my (lack of ) skills, I will track down a rf bolt head I think. I could at least look at it and decide if I could copy it if nothing else !

You could always try useing a fellow member in that area to purchase and send it on to you. I did'nt say that though.

Wait for one to come up on ebay and have it sent through ... Seems that plenty of people do it.

I've seen them removed from ebay in Australia icon

They sell like hot cakes on US ebay though I haven't seen any 22 RF bolt heads on there at all, just the regular ones. Failing that, where there is a will there is a way.

Still require an import permit. I have had bolt heads, mags seized and receivers let through by Customs.

no consistency, I have seen proof of many bolt heads coming via the mail.

Another thought is that if you have to do permits then may as well get a complete rifle and put the 22 bolt head on it. Part it out or replace the bolt head when it gets here
