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.

What does the safety lug look like on a SC Bolt? Is is shaped like a normal 1903 or oval?

**Rick the Librarian** · 07-20-2010 08:22 AM

Oval? There were two types, the normal "scalloped", seen on virtually all earlier M1903 bolts, and a "squared off one used on later SC bolts and some WWII replacement bolts.

**cquickel** · 07-20-2010 10:10 AM

Yes it is oval. The lug between the bolt handle and the front of the bolt face. I will try to take a picture. Springfield Sportes has a greaty rep, so I believe it is correct. It is just oval.

An oval scallop, maybe???

**cquickel** · 07-21-2010 10:05 AM

It's not scalloped. It is oval as a race track.
