    Is this what the tapped holes were for on the receiver I have? The holes are drilled on the right side of the receiver and I was trying to figure out what they were for.

    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.

    No. The Lyman 48 and all standard receiver sights mount on the left side of the 70. Redfield & Vaver receiver sights all mount on left side of M70. There were many different scope sight bases designed after WWII. Those holes may be for one of those. I do not recognize the hole pattern.

    I found a bolt for the barreled receiver and I held my breath when I check the headspace. Boy was I happy when it passed. Its a perfect match for my rifle and from looking online looks to be the correct bolt for my 1940. I cycles perfectly in the action as well.

    Thanks for the help everyone, made looking for the bolt a lot easier.
