Hi Everyone

This Rifle has been in my safe for a few years and I would like to get any Info. on it I can.
I Appreciate the help everyone gives me. I think the stock has been sanded at some point the stamps and cartouche are faint.

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.

Looks like a correct SC from what I can see from your pictures.

I thought it was but wanted to get some input from someone with more knowledge than myself.
Thanks again

Just one minor nit pick. The BP marked bolt sleeve is a Bay products WW11 replacement part.
An original S/C will be marked with a G inside the ears when removed. Easy replacement for a very nice rifle.

Thanks pickax for the info. I dont know if its visable on the picture but the mag. cut off has cc stamped on it would it be a replacment part as well?

The mark "cc" denotes Commercial Controls. Smith-Corona bought all but the receiver from suppliers. I have never seen a list of who made what, but many of the suppliers have been identified. The pinned stock looks to be too early for the high number SC rifle, a replacement?
