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.

I think it is the same as the 1907

**NZShoota** · 07-07-2010 02:37 AM

Thanks for that. I'll look into it

Just had a look at some photo's of them both on the net. Unfortunately the latches are different.

Shoota, exactly what do you mean by the 'latch' We still have some spares for the No5

Hi Peter, Looking at the exploded parts diagram in Ian Skennerton icon

's SAIS Book on the No.5 Rifle,

The Parts that are missing are listed as

Bolt # BB 5871
Nut, bolt # BB5872
Spring, bolt # BB5873

Basically its the spring loaded "button assembly" that goes through the pommel and is pressed in order to mount and dismount the bayonet. Not the correct terminology but I hope you get the gist of what I'm after.

Got that. I think that there might be one or two on a dark and dusty shelf. PM me with your address
