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.

The proper way is to remove the extractor and ejector and then use field gauges.

I had the same problem with one of my M1 icon

rifles after rebarrel. My suggestion is, take the rifle to a real gunsmith and have it done. That is the safe way of doing this type of work.

Check the headspace, or set the headspace as part of a rebarrel? If it is the former, Claven2 has described the procedure. If it is the latter, its somewhat more complicated, and best done by someone with the equipment and experience.
