    Did you have a 1940 dated barrel in your 50694 ? The double springs (keystone & comp) are quite rare to find nowdays. Could you post a few photos ?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    I noticed that is an odd location for the cartouche, as the pre war SA SPG cartouches were just about twelve inches from the butt plate, while the post war rebuild SA SPG cartouches were moved forward and ahead of any previous cartouches that may still be on the stock. Are there any photos of the butt stock with the butt plate removed ?

    Looks like a modified no-trap to me.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    mid 1940 SA SPG stock

    The mid 1940 SA SPG stock also has two equal size holes - but the butt plate is solid without a trap door. Your stock appears to be a post WW2 stock that has the 1947-1951 SA SPG rebuild cartouche and the trap door butt plate
