    Bushy, the rifles definitely go the other way. The muzzle end goes under the scope, the other rifle's butt sticks up beside the scope case. The muzzles go under the scope case block at the end and the butt goes against the block that holds the scope case from the side.

    I don't think a rifle with the scope base on will go in over slings in the leather strap... But looking again, might have to re think the bolts too.

    Here's a heap of pics I just took....

    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.

    Wowsers, nice pics!!

    Bit of a mystery that strap, but i tend to agree with peter about the bolts not going in the strap, unless there's is some kind of fixture that they fit into no one knows about. I had the rifles the other way around so they cleared the rifle, i dont think their was clearence when i stacked it the way you have it.

    No, i reckon you are right about the bolts, there must be something missing.
