    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.

    That's a spot weld that's been added...another of the European mods I'd guess...?

    Hello browningautorifleicon

    Correct. I asked a friend and he said it's a bolt modified in Germanyicon. It a small cut is made into the receiver to accept that nutch. This is done in order to have parts of civilian firearms different from military ones.

    It seems the job has been done in the opposite way: the notch should be welded on the receiver and not to the bolt so to prevent to use military bolts on civilian rifles.

    Thank you again for your answer, browningautorifleicon.
