    M1903 Mark I Bolt Markings

    Greetings! I recently purchased a Mark I in very nice condition the original black Parkerizing and all the Mark I components are present. But the bolt is a replacement. I know this because I have Greek Return O3's and they all have the serial number scribed on the back of the bolt handle. The swept back bolt matches the rifle nicely in color and finish and headspaces properly. The top of the bolt is marked "6". Not J 6, just 6. None of my references list a bolt marked like this. Has anyone got knowledge of this? Thanks! H.T.

    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.

    If you can't find the steel lot code at the following link, I don't know where else to look. Best of luck.
