    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.

    Correct bolt, I believe, but it appears to be refinished.

    OK, thank you. Now could it be possible to unrefinish this bolt to match the rifle or should I keep looking. The asking price is 165 which seems pretty high (but) I think I am looking at a very narrow window to get the correct bolt so probably will have to pay a little more than normal if I want the correct 1.

    That NS stamping is a lot bigger and more irregular in comparison to the 2 NS bolts that I have. The Vi Shooter sticky has a couple of pics or both SA and RIA NS bolts to check out.

    Bolt looks off a little to me. Need JB to take a look.

    Have to concur with Purple and Calif-Steve. I have certain misgivings about the righteousness of 'NS' marking alright. I guess anything is possible but it just doesn't 'feel' right.

    OK, Thank you all. I was kind of on the edge here as I know the 1 I am looking for has the large serf NS but did not want to spend that much and end up with something wrong. I will keep looking.

    Good point about the lettering - overlooked that.

    Bolt not a "NS"bolt

    The bolt is a WW2 Mfgr. Bolt stamped "NS" for value enhancement.
    Yes, there are Hand Stamped "NS"'s.
    But
    Not with larger holes, no dimples and machining marks in bolt barrel.
    "NS" bolts were built without a war being on during the Early Depression
    years, "why would you rush",you wanted to keep your job.

    There is a slight possibility the bolt in question could be an early"NS" hand stamp,
    for that receiver,if the receiver has an additional "Hatcher Hole" modification.
    Then it would be believable that both were modified together.
