    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.

    Aparently, Universal started producing guns with military parts. In about 1968, they had changed the design to exclude most parts and had redesigned them so almost no parts were interchangeable. This bolt is one of those I think. A later pattern bolt. Sort of looks like, but isn't an M1icon carbine bolt. Unless it's a Universal...

    Once again, I think this is the case, I know there's a few around here will join in as soon as they catch this...
    Regards, Jim

    Here's a link to info on the changes that Universal made to their bolts. It's about 3/4 of the way down on the page. - Bob

    I don't know, I think you can re-coop by selling it as a Universal bolt that it is. Universal parts are scarce.
