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.

According to this recent post it means Emergency Use.

**browningautorifle** · 03-20-2012 07:20 PM

Not for use with live ammo.

Rimmed .303 cartridges had feeding problems in some rifles resulting in several design changes. Rifles with feedng problems were sentenced as EY---not to be used in combat unless there is an emergency. Safety was never an issue unless it is marked DP--Drill Purpose only. General rule, don't fire DP marked rifles.

[/COLOR]I don't want to disagree with Paul (thread 5) but the notion that we would have TWO EY designations doesn't ring quite right to me...... Any rifle with an inherent or defective feed would be sentenced Z (to be scrapped or repaired at a much higher level) or DP'd for Drill Puropse) without a second thought. In UK icon

Military service, EY indicates a sub standard rifle fitted with OR suitable for fitting with a cup discharger.

There were cup dischargers for P-14's used in the UK and I have photographed a couple of these for the forum in the past, fitted to their EY P-14 rifles.
