    Need help from chuck in Denver or other m1917 Experts

    I sold a Winchester Model of 1917. The buyer liked the rifle, but found that the safety was not functioning properly. The safety worked as designed when the bolt was not cocked. but when it was cocked, the safety would not rotate more than about 15 degrees. Can someone help me diagnose the problem, and recommend a fix? Thanks for any assistance.

    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.

    Can tell you that the AEF requested that no (more) Winchester made rifles be shipped to Franceicon in WWI due to incompatibility/inconsistency of parts. Is the part in question Winchester marked or not?
