    The one I looked at in the basement of the National Army Museum (Chelsea) had a Canadianicon Arsenals barrel identical to those fitted to the DCRA conversion rifles done at Long Branch. The scope was still graduated for .303 and it was in the Chest No.15 I believe the chest was re-marked but can't remember now.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The Trails L8T I saw had an Enfield 7.62 barrel complete with the additional milling cuts for a wrench and CR1281 part number. The 1970's variant had the Canadianicon Arsenals barrel like the one Surpmil saw at the NAM.

    Yep, it would have a Mk2 fore-end. The only time we were allowed to fit a Mk2 fore-end to a Mk1 or 1/1 rifle was if it was a DP.
