    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 have no idea of the market where you live. For a collector "a few other W marked parts" is not good enough. It need to be 100% W. And the parts should show matching levels of wear, or the suspicion will arise that it is a "mixmaster". Not that would be important if it were a good shooter, but ... "bore is shot out". So not valuable either way. But I am not a collector, and their valuations often surprise me.

    Probably a "JA" marked barrel. Unfortunately, it may be worth more as parts than as a complete rifle. It depends on the condition of the parts. Replacement barrels are available, but they'll be new manufacture. I'd rebarrel it and use it as a range gun, if I was either to keep it or was buying it. But to buy it, I'd have to deduct the cost of the barrel and possibly the labor to install and finish ream the chamber to make it worthwhile.
