    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.

    The serial # of the rifle could narrow down the choices.

    John Beardicon has a bolt chart, posted on ViShooter's M1903 website, that will help you answer your question. As stated above, the s/n is needed for the answer but there are several possibilities. http://www.vishooter.net/slc6_2008.html Be sure to look at the explanatory notes as well.

    Thank John Beardicon; he did the research and ViShooter for hosting the site. Bear in mind the J5 bolts were in production during the transition between the straight & curved handle bolts. You may want to contact John Beard to see which J5 bolt you need. Good luck finding your bolt!
