    Maybe I'm stupid or something but the UKicon MoD parts list for the No5 rifle just lists BAYONET No5 Mk1 with the B1/CR xxxx part number.......... I look at the L2A3 parts list and there it is again, exactly the same............ Ah....., I see now.......... Is this a commercial thing invented by the dealers, similar to that of a bayonet for the Lanchester differing somehow from the bayonet for the No1 rifle?

    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.

    Peter, Probably right there......a little bit of knowledge by dealers, that then gets transcribed into historical fact over time, as used by the SAS........that'll do it

    I'm surprised that the dealers haven't called the No5 bayonets currently made in India SMG bayonets and advertised them for a highly inflated price.
