    SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT EITHER OF THESE TRIGGERS?

    I have a 1943 Long Branch whose trigger, once the rifle is cocked, flops forward and aft about 3/8 inch with no resistance. Once the slack is taken up, the 2-stages work and feel normal. I have a 1941 Long Branch with a trigger that does the same thing, but only moves in the same manner about 1/8 inch. Is there a problem with either trigger?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Nope. That is completely normal for the Lee Enfield trigger. The ones that dont do that are the early long lee metfords and enfields (and cavalry carbines), which have a different trigger/sear shape.

    When you slowly retract the bolt and the cocking piece is retracted, watch how it jumps then.
