    My first No1 MkIII or III*

    Good morning. Yersteday my armourer showed to me a good No1 mkIII, i believe: It was BSA stamps on wirst. Rebarreled in 1942, it has a good 5 grooves barrel. But, why it has the cut-off installed? It souinds to me quite odd. My last question:
    The trigger is a single stage trigger, the reason probably being a trigger guard poor fitment: if t. guard is far from sear, the sear itself will start at the second rib, so creating a single stage trigger. I hope today i will find a new No1 trigger guard and/or a new No1 sear. Thank you

    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.

    So as not to go over a lot of old ground, I suggest that you take a read of the many threads on the forums about this subject and then post back for any clarification that you need.

    The cut-off could have been re-installed far more recently than WWII. Probably an earlier collector. Not likely retained during a 1942 (or later) rebarrel.

    Before you start work on adjusting anything Bow, just make sure that the trigger guard is FLAT

    If you need any parts, just speak to BDLicon. He is on this site.
