How do you remove the rear sling ring on this rifle? It is not a through bolt, and appears to be slighly too deep to just unscrew.

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.

Are you're talking about a sling ring mounted on the left side of the butt stock like the FR-8 (which I believe is a modified '43) or the sling mount on the bottom of the butt stock. If it's on the side, the pin to remove it is located under the butt plate and should just pull out with a great deal of effort. If on the underside of the stock butt it should have two screws holding it on.

Thanks! It's the side one. I didn't know about the pin under the buttplate. I really appreciate the help. And, yes, the FR-8 is a modified 43.

Buttplate is off, but I don't see the pin. Is this what it should look like, or is the top of the pin missing?

Treeman,
I sent you a PM reply.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help. Turns out the pin was missing, and it was rusted in place. Finally got it out.
