    That is a very nice rifle. +1 for what they said about the history. It was used by the US in WW1 and not WWII though, when the US entered the war later with a small arms shortage just like the Canadians had run into but they had switched to the SMLE.

    There is no need to tie the rifle to a tree or be scared of it though, the problem with the bolts is confined to the MKIII Ross. As per the usual legalese as long as its in good condition and perhaps inspected by a gunsmith it should be perfectly safe to fire.

    Forgotten Weapons covers this myth pretty well:

    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.
