    1891 Argentine Cleaning Rod Question

    Hello, its been awhile.
    I recently picked up a beautiful cond 1891 Argentineicon.
    All numbers match, everything looks great. I don't plan on
    dissembling this rifle, but had a quick question.
    How is the cleaning rod retained in the stock, I know it screws into
    the stock but just curious is there a retainer nut somewhere near the front pillar?
    Once I get some time I'll post some pics of this baby

    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.

    Another thing I noticed is my barrel has a RB proof marking right above the scrubbed crest receiver ring. Never seen that before. Serial number is P84**

    One other question about the extractor. I checked the extractor and
    it has good tension. One thing I noticed is that it does have very slight front to back play
    in the slot, don't know if that's normal or not. I guess I'll find out when I go to shoot it soon

    There is a cleaning rod stud in the stock, very slight play in the extractor is normal.

    Nice looking rifle. I've got one that would pass for its twin.
