    You have a 1905-R factory sporter.

    The sight that was on it was correct. It is a standard Winchester sight, so shouldn`t be too tough to replace.

    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.

    You've got the right ammo by the look of it. Load it yourself?

    Serial number looks like 6223, not 6233.

    The bolt should close snugly on the .074 gauge. If there is any movement of the bolt possible at all when closed on that gauge, you have excessive headspace. However, it takes a degree of "feel" and skill to determine this, as mentioned above.

    You should check the contact on the bolt lugs with layout blue.
