    Does it have the standard follower assembly, or something more "compact"?

    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. Brian Dick ...

    It seems to have the standard follower assembly. The rounds double stack and both rollers are present.

    All shortie Sterling magazines were converted from fuill-length magazines. It was a simple insert and a saw blade came down and chopped the unwanted part off. Then the usual tool used to spay the end turned them outwards - and that was about it! Springs were would in-house and poundage set to that of the standard magazine tension AT THE FEED LIPS.

    As a matter of interest, some buyers wanted internal lips but Sterling said NO. If they folded INWARDS, it meant that the magazine could be inserted ar5e-about-face as they say in polite circles. So outwards they faced
