    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.

    It looks like a revision 2 follower (unmarked) and the slide has been replaced with the later type. But on second thought it looks like a regular Winchester follower and slide with the 90 egree front face

    Thank you for the reply, the follower came of a SA early 1941 (original barel) Garandicon that went through a 1960's Tooele Rebuild. Strange thing is it still had some early correct SAparts parts . The follower arm was WRA single bevel stamped 6.
    Heres a few more pics if it helps, if you need any more would be glad to post
    Thanks again
