Regretably, after a good deal of thinking over advice and opinions on this forum and some others, I decided to send my 1918 Lee Enfield back to AIM today; I described the bolt lift problem to them and they agreed it wasn't safe to shoot and agreed to a refund. Sadly, they have nothing to offer as a ...

Has anyone bought one of the Classic Arms advertized No. 1 Mk. IIIs from Classic Arms in Kentucky? The are shown on the website with the 17" blade bayonet and no sign of an ishy screw.

Thanks for the info NuJudge. I have a lot to digest. I'm going to send for a copy of that Enfield book you quoted from.

This looks just like my 03A3 which I bought while serving in the Army at Ft. Bragg 40 years ago this spring. It has been a great rifle for DCM shoots for me and for my father who passed away 20 years ago September. The rifle was in like new condition when I bought it and is still in great shape. Goe...

Thats a good looking 03A3! Much nicer than my CMP high number 03 which had a garbage stock. Luckily I had a spre stock; still miffed at CMP and will probably not buy from them again
