    While you are here, rapidrob, how about telling us all about the rare trials MkV Lee Enfield that the you refered to over at surplusrifles? You know the one- you asked the guys at gunboards what it was two days earlier and then jumped up and said

    "Instantly post were made that the rifle was some how not right.I found that the replies were from members gaining their expertise from one web site and four photo's!
    When I contacted a reparable source for information, I was informed the rifle was in fact correct and was a very early variant of this rifle type."

    They had done the right thing by directing you to a site that held basic outline information to get you started. When they offered to help you further understand the irregularities with your rifle (these guys between them own several MkV's) you disappeared only to turn up on surplusrifle as an expert on the subject with a new found rare variant proven by some contact in Englandicon- a contact you have not verified and information you have not divulged.

    I ask you here to come over to the Lee Enfield forum and post about your rifle, supplying the new information from England and set the record straight.

    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.
