I find that bolt number interesting. Isn't that a little high for a a short and lightened?

XP158 is listed as being a No6Mk1 type.
What is the origin of that photo?

The SMLE was first shortened in that manner in WWI by certain Canadian
battalions. They were found particularly useful for bayonet work inside trenches; the bayonets were not shortened however.
Nowadays we'd just have a rotating dial which would be a good deal stronger and simpler.

The S & L has the wrong bolt in it. The serial number on the action is two digits.

I can give you any amount of photo's you want but I am not willing to disassemble it.
Just PM me if you want.
Mine is from the first batch of 20.
I also have the original factory bayonet for it as well.

Would love to see a couple of pics Warren...here... Last one I saw that was good was in Milarm back in 1981 when they were still upstairs in that old house in Edmonton. Could have had it for $800 CDN then...

Warren,
Thank you for the offer! Yes additional pictures would be nice. Hi res pictures as large as possible that match the views of a dimensioned machinist drawing would be fantastic. Assuming the receiver it is mounted on is a standard no1 mk3 most dimensions can be extrapolated.
