Bolt Lock

**alktrio06** · 09-02-2012 04:10 PM

Stupid question here...

I recently bought a M1903 A3 Smith Corona and when I open the bolt, it just slides out. Do I need to pick up a bolt lock? Is a piece missing? Sorry for the noob question. Here are some pics!

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.

Or is it the magazine cutoff?

Correct, now search for a SC replacement.

Your rifle is missing the magazine cutoff, cutoff spindle, plunger, spring, and screw. If you have trouble finding these parts, please e-mail and I'll provide you the names of a couple of sources.

Some of your other parts are not SC. If you are going for a complete restoration you may wish to change those as well. Its not essential however.
