    Did you have it checked for proper headspace by a gunsmith, during the rearsenal process barrels get changed out. Sometimes they get turned in to far, there is a witness mark on the underside of the barrel and chamber to align. You also may have some gunk built up in the chamber, chuck in a chamber brush on a short rod and clean the chamber well with your favorite cleaner. FWIW.

    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.

    Get the serial number off the receiver, there is a site that crosses the date on the barrel to the serial number. Last I remember no more that a couple months difference.

    At least its a clue on a home barrel job.

    U.S. Military Dates of Manufacture

    Works if its an Eddystone, if not go to the core site and put in Winchester or Remington.

    Example: I have a barreled action that receiver date is November of 1918. I know the barrel was a civilian barrel but even if not, its date is 6-1918, ergo even if I did not know it was an R barrel that were never put on E receivers I would know it was a civilian barrel change, Military never did that.
