303 Brit. S# 9378. Bbl. shortened to 13 7/8".

Sheet steel sight protector. Stock bolt is new one piece rod w/ threaded end & collar. Sliding handle folds out for disassembly. Butt trap ground for easy access to stock bolt. Takedown conversion would be approx. 21" assembled length approx. 33". Rifle shown on page 207 in Skennerton's "THE LEE-ENFIELD RIFLE". Buttsocket marked on right side "crown GREENFIELD 1924 SHTLE V".

Any barrel cut below 18" is prohibited. You can install a factory one below that though on a manual action and not have it affect status.

It'll probably sail through - there are enough short barrelled Enfields in Canada already. I say go for it - "It was manufactured this way in SA..."
