    The "19T" refers to the re-proofing to 19 tons per square inch for the new 7.62mm cartridge. The "0" on the bolt head is one of the four standard bolt head sizes.

    You'd better grab it before it's gone!

    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.

    The "0" is the smallest of the series of bolt heads then 1 - 2 - 3 as for the"4" size they are the rarest of rares infact very few of the armorer's here have one or even seen one not sure but I think Brian Dickicon may have one.
    It is also not just a case of popping on a No.1 bolt head if the H/spacing needs to be tightened up as there is a bit of hand fitting work to get the lock up into spec as other surfaces are in play with the lock up of the Lee Enfield which was mentioned a while ago about the Helical recoil lugs lock up by Bruce in Oz I think.

    Just a small correction Cinders - and others. There was a 00 size bolt head produced for the L39 series of rifles, .003 smaller than the 0 size. But there is no evidence that this was ever approved for the L42. There's a bit of history behind the 00 size that I've mentioned before so won't bore you all

    So true. I have had an Enfield Enforcer, several No.1 Mk.111*s, various No.4s, including a couple of 1941 Long Branch No.4 Mk.1s, and recently narrowly missed out on a No.4 T. Would have loved to keep them all, but seem to keep getting hit by bouts of medical bills. Still, I am only a custodian for a little while.
