    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.

    Bolt has no SA after the drawing number. It has the space between the D and the number and this one is extremely rare, having a short time before the revision 2 bolts came out. The space between the D and the number was deleted when the SA was added to the sequence. That makes this one another of your trove of gas trap parts?
    Regards, Jim

    D28287 -1 bolt

    From Billy Pyle's book "The Gas Trap Garand" page 121 "Revision one bolts with the legend D28287-1 and D28287-1SA on the same line are extremely rare and seldom encountered, as they had a very short life span in the M1icon production sequence before being superseded by the revision 2 (-2). "

    Most or almost all of the revision 1 bolts that the collector will find will have the -1 stamped below the drawing number as shown in the photo.
