    It was only after it was accepted for the P-14 that the sniper wing decided to try it on the now 'new' rifle, the No4T. The rest is history.

    That's why the original Enfield No4T's didn't have a cheek piece.

    I know I've said this before too, but the reason why original Army/Ordnance (as opposed to some of the modern repros) cheek pieces don't fit too well at the front and need 'fitting' to even get them to fit reasonably, is that they were drawn up and configured to the P-14 butt and have to be adapted to fit the No4
    Thanks Peter, I still don't see why the larger recess is on the left though, when most shooters are right handed. However, if they didn't bother to change the spec from P14 to No4 I don't suppose they'd worry about that either.

    It is rather strange to see the detailed drawing posted elsewhere on this site which specifies all the exact curvatures for the front recesses when they apparently have no particular purpose or reason for their configuration; and certainly no logic that I can make out.

    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.
