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.

Looks like US M1855 or 1873 Springfield bayonet, differed on the muzzle size.

It looks like a Model 1840/42 bayonet. What’s the inside diameter of the socket?

**gew8805** · 03-14-2018 12:24 PM

Yes, a M1840/42 bayonet.

Thanks for the help everyone. I will put a mic to the inside of the socket tomorrow and post pictures. I have another that is similar, but is not stamped US.

**mwrookie** · 03-15-2018 09:31 PM

The mic measured .8050 from the inside

It appears the bayonet lug would have to be on the bottom of the barrel, so 'fixed' bayonet blade would be on rightside of barrel. Also, bayonet is missing its locking-ring.
