Go see a few local gunsmiths and pay a few bucks for some documentation rather than trust an internet "guru".

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.

If I were you I would discount anything posted by damiensic who apparently desperately wanted his rifle to be something it wasn’t and I have no idea what The Hound means or is implying other than you should always have every new rifle checked by someone who knows what they are doing. John Beard icon

is one of the most knowledgeable individuals on the planet when it comes to the 1903 Springfield and you can certainly trust his opinion.

You can take what John Beard icon

says about 1903 Springfields to the bank.
TWH is right on the mark with his comment about Mr. Beard.
