I just wasnt pulling hard enough - its now quite 'free & easy'.

Looking closer I dont think the rivets are in fact rivets but are spot-welds

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.

Does this mean the rabbits on your golf course are going to get "Enfielded"?

Yup - they have been 22'd and even 243'd for a while but now they will be properly Enfield 22'd.

See you on the 29th.

The 22 mag is removable from the adapted No4 mag. I have some of the original 22 mags, which I intend to convert to the No7 format by reversing the lever. Those little mags are becoming quite hard to get hold of.

Is the reversed lever the only difference betwen the little supersport 5 and the No7 EFL? When the RAF were here that had a load of No7's for their Cadets and some of those inner mags were just supersports pushed in place.

I was under the impression it was a "BSA Sportsman" 5 round magazine not a "Supersport"

I thought the "Supersport" was a 10 or 15 round tubular magazine under the barrel.

Ah, yes! Just testing to see if you were taking notice. But not being military types, easy to mix up! But back to the question. Is the reversed latch thinggy the only difference?
