    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.

    Stamped triggers were adopted in August 1942 by Colt and began at approximately serial number 1,200,000. There is always overlap and you will most surely find stamped triggers before this and also find milled triggers after this.
