    Are you sure that you haven't got the mouthpiece in the wrong way around...........

    With the frog stud UPWARDS, the ring of the crosspiece should be on the LEFT side as the bayonet is slid into the scabbard.

    To be honest, I could never understand why the mouthpiece wasn't symmetrical and allow the bayonet in either way, just like the SMLE or spikes. It didn't make any difference to the blokes because on operations, you just had the scabbard on your pouches or belt wherever it was most comfortable. Even in camp, on guard, ranges or training was the same

    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.

    I don't think so - it'll only assemble in one way. Admittedly I haven't actually tested it with a suitable blade yet as they're all currently well buried.
