need more pics but if the rest of the rifle is as tidy then probably yes.

Some Qs,

a) Does the receiver number and bolt number match? if not you have some checks to undertake.

b) What is the number on the bolt head?

Get it head spaced.

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.

If the serial number on the bolt matches the number on the body, I would fire it. If the numbers don’t match I would check the headspace first.

Those little holes wouldn’t bother me a bit…….. unless I was haggling with the seller over the price.

The good news is the holes were not welded up and painted over. That can make the metal brittle and prone to crack or shatter.
