No dust cover loop on either, one with a long forward action screw/swivel and one with a short, both swivels are of a different shape on the body.

    Rifle one: Serial number X32136 the scope case strap is marked L/Cpl Pxxxxxx 1 Para B Coy marked with a 2 on the stock, on the scope case and on transit chest

    Rifle two: Serial number V34685 has a tag in the scope case marked
    "36 District Workshop REME"
    "Passed Range Test"
    "Date 31-01-90"

    Again, thanks for your time and info on these rifles.

    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.

    Thanks Simon,

    Ooops - actually I meant to ask about E73. This is a strange rifle that someone has converted into an L42...
