    I would not have spotted the patch until told to go and look again.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    That's a beautiful rifle indeed. Should serve you well in the competitions.
    I have a question! Was the conversion to No4Mk2 trigger done by Fulton's or at an earlier FTR?
    I ask this because I was under the impression that the No4Mk1* rifles became No4Mk1/3; where as the No4 Mk1 became the Mk1/2.
    The photo of the left side of the receiver shows clearly that it's marked No4 Mk1*/2

    Fultons did the trigger conversion to Mk 2, and yes I believe the correct nomenclature would be No.4 Mk1/3?

    The bottom line is the rifle is now out of service and has been rebuilt for target shooting, so I suppose it doesn't matter what Mk's it sports.

    I think Fultons used an already converted action, as they have a good many of them! Then built the rifle from mainly new parts or existing factory original parts including the barrel!

    Still use it for the odd service rifle comp Ray, but with time on my hands now I have been giving all my target rifle stuff an outing.
    Realised I hadn't shot my L39 for a couple of years!
