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.

Thanks..On my bolt; uncompressed is 4 1/2" and when compressed on the rod, coils are compressed against each other, really only barely enough room to remove / install the collar and pin.

When you cock your 03 / 03A3 are the coils compressed against eash other?

No one has answered my question about the 1917 spring length so I wonder if sometime in the past, a 1917 spring was installed?
