    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Don't do it!

    Careful, careful CAREFUL

    Is it really, really necessary to do that? You can make up such a tool from two pieces of drill stub in a hand vise. In some cases you can use the expanding pliers used for spring clips. But in most cases, and especially for a rifle of that vintage, the nut is so firmly stuck/rusted to the thread of the recoil crossbolt (a.k.a. stockbolt) that turning the nut will rotate the crossbolt slightly in its square hole, thus loosening it in the stock, and destroying its proper function of absorbing the recoil thrust to prevent the trigger guard screws being pushed slightly skewy and the tang being driven back in the recess in the butt - which can cause a split.

    If you have ever seen rifle with a split in the neck just behind the tang - that is how it happens. In a word, you can FUBAR your rifle.

    So unless it comes out easily:

    DO NOT REMOVE THE CROSSBOLT FOR MERELY COSMETIC PURPOSES

    Not sure if this old book in our MKLicon addresses that or not, but here you go ...
