    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 you have it look at Carbine Club Newsletter # 333 January 2006. It shows 4 different LA stamped stocks with other additional markings including the crossed cannon acceptance stamp in the sling well. They ranging from serial number 15xx with barrel dated 6-42 to serial number 23625 with barrel dated 9-42.

    Thank you for the L A information, as I have not been a member of the carbine club since 1987, I posted my question here.

    Yes, but they don't have to be 'I'-cut. I had one once with 'oval' oiler cut. It had all the marks in the sling well plus a big crossed cannons on the stock.
