    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.

    Your rifle would have a Mark I stock with a slight "notch" on the left side to clear the ejection port. The stock would be a grasping groove with a DAL or WJS stamp.

    Thanks Rick. I believe it would be worth trying to find an original stock for as it has its original MK1 parts.

    I have joined the SRS and would like to know how I can have someone search my 1903 MK1 s/n. I sent an email to editor@usmartialarmscollector.com but have not heard back anything.

    Cherokee5425, just post the serial number and ask. There are several on this forum that will do look ups.

    1903 MK1

    I have researched serial magazine articles as well as several books, Poyer, Brophy and others. In all of them that have articles on the 1903 MK1 that have pictures none of them show any cartouches. From what I have read the stocks where usually stamped by an inspector but they do somewhat hint that sometimes they were not. Any insights on this problem?
