    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.

    If I remember the “GO” prefix was originally used in No.5 production. Any chance the bolt has a hole drilled in the end of the handle? Having gone through a FTR at Faz. almost anything is possible. Does the rifle have it’s serial number stamped on the left side of the butt stock socked as well?

    drivr, A 'G' s/n prefix can be valid from any one of the three English No.4 manufacturers during '42. The digit immediatly following the prefix, or at least in the area, should be a '1', a '2' or a four numeral number. If you can post a picture of the left side of the butt socket it'd be a great help.

    The FTR (F) means that at sometime it was re-arsenaled at Fazakerley.
