    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.

    it seems like even with the Ferrule it might be too short, maybe its just the angle

    "...missing a sling swivel..." Looks like it's missing the ferrule too.

    Hey usabaker,
    Just in case no one told you, the rifle seems to be missing the sling swivel and ferrule.
