museumtom Posted 10 February , 2015 Share Posted 10 February , 2015 I have been asked to id this old 303. The type and what the safety? catch on the top. What chance do I have so I will ask those who know here. Please help if you can. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8HANTS Posted 10 February , 2015 Share Posted 10 February , 2015 looks like a rather sad charger loading Long Lee Enfield, and yes that is the safety catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 10 February , 2015 Share Posted 10 February , 2015 (edited) Agree - although difficult to be certain without seeing more It could be an SMLE with a MLE/CLLE bolt in it - but assuming no strangeness like that - most obvious choice would be a CLLE. Chris Edit There should be some markings on the wrist which would indicate (although it looks fairly heavily corroded) There may also be a conversion date on the opposite side of the wrist if it was converted from a MLE Edited 10 February , 2015 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 11 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2015 Thanks lads, I had an idea it was a Lee Metford bold in an SMLE myself. Thank you most kindly lads your help is very much appreciated. Kind regards. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
