    DP SMLE No1 Mk1

    Seen this on Gunbroker (296153112) would of been better if the DP had not been removed from the body, and looks like its had a file on the knox form before being submited for re proof.

    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The fore-end has a crack near the front trigger guard screw, I wonder if this was the reason for the reinforcing screw being fitted.

    It would be nice to see an example of the reinforing screw been fitted by Britishicon or Commonwealth armourers etc other than India, as there always seems a stigma attached to these screws.
    Regards Simon

    I saw 27 Cadet No4's some years ago, culled from the West Country CCF and ACF and 2 of them ad the dreaded screw while another HAD been screwed but had later been plugged. In fact, I took one off prior to it being reduced to scrap and used it to show the Forum how to remove the screw and almost invisibly plug the hole
