SMLE / No4 Butt differences

**Robert303** · 12-23-2014 11:33 AM

Can you please help? I am looking for a good comparison picture or drawing showing the difference between the SMLE and the No4 Butts. Am I correct in thinking that No4 butts were fitted to SMLEs in FTR if nothing else was available?
Thanks and a happy Christmas to one and all.
Robert

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.

You are correct and we've discussed this several times here. I think I can find some pics here if I look...give us a minute...

Can't find the pics, but here's the gospel according to Reverend Laidler icon
