    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.

    Enforcer were fitted with a Parker Hale Monte Carlo butt made by Sile of Italyicon, and an L39A1 forend.

    The rifle in the photograph appears to have both these items.

    Note that an "Enforcer" is just an assembly of common (at that time) commercial and military rifle parts, and is thus easily duplicated. A genuine Enforcer has the woodwork numbered to the rifle in a certain way, as are of course the receiver, magazine and bolt.

    Enforcer Stock

    The handguard should have a flat relief to provide clearance for the Pecar scope. Everything else looks OK but as Thunderbox said it should be numbered.

    Here are a couple of more pictures. Wondering if they raise any red flags as to authenticity

    Ask the seller if there is a serial number on the forend and butt. The handguard appears incorrect..should be thicker and have a flat section for the Pecar scope. Is there a marking on the left receiver sidewall that designates the rifle as an Enforcer

    Looks like a PH5C rearsight instead of a PH5E4.

    Unless the rifle rifle bears unique Enforcer markings, its just an (albeit identical) 7.62mm No4 action target rifle - about 20% of the value, in the UKicon market at least.

    To ID an Enforcer, we'd need to see:

    1. left receiver sidewall;
    2. rear of bolt;
    3. underside of magazine;
    4. underside of forend next to front band;
    5. detail of handguard.

    Internally:
    6. front end of butt;
    7. underside of handguard;
    8. interior of forend.
