    My BSA 4T has (in my eyes) a very poor fitted rear mount, however the rifle was previously owned by a guy who shoots at the same club as Peter Laidlericon, Peter has inspected it and declared it 'Pukka', and nothing to be concerned about.

    Just sayin.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    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 don't see it leaving Messrs Holland & Holland like that. Perhaps it's a genuine rifle that got stripped at some point & required the fitting of a replacement rear pad (out of military service). That would be quite feasible.

    I was thinking along similar lines, PL checked it over for me before my purchase (I bought it unseen except for photos) and he made no comment on it so I took it as being 'acceptable'.

    It 'works as it should' just looks a bit ugly.

    It is an RAF issue 4T and was last serviced at '34 Base Workshops Catterick' September '68
