    Barrel band spring

    Could someone please tell me if the barrel band spring on a Rem. 03-A3, Serial 3988691, bbl date 9-43 should be marked? Thanks in advance.

    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.

    The barrel band and sling swivel is one assembly unlike the 1903 barrel band that consists of 3 pieces. For the 03A3 the "R" stamp is on the sling swivel.

    Bear - The OP is asking about the 'spring', that retains the barrel-band.

    My bad. I didn't know those were marked. I thought the springs with squared off ends were Remington and the rounded end springs were SC and replacements.

    The book is The Collectable 03 by J.C. Harrison, Amazon has it or you can shop Ebay etc. cant say book is 100% accurate others may be able to shed some light on that however I have seen R stamped on my 03A3s on parts in the picture.
