    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I'm not the brightest light in the mechanical engineering box but I'd like to know how the 'pole' bayonet fitted/clamped onto the, er....., pole! Or am I missing something?

    I think it was just tied to a bamboo pole, like a pike idea.

    That's what I would like to know also. I have found some examples that indicate various ways but nothing definitive. One is showing a proper bayonet lashed to a pole which has some sort of metal round pin which is on the end of the pole and then through the hole with the handle lashed to the pole. Looks almost like a No III nose cap. Bamboo is mentioned in another discussion but bamboo is hollow so can't be carved to fit inside the hole. Would also require some sort of metal cap.

    Only if you look at it as a reusable item. If you just create a "Spear" then you don't need anything else but lashing...remember it was to be a desperate last stand idea. I too have examined it and found regular bayonets lashed to poles...
