Replaces mag cutoff??? WTF...might get in the way of shells ejecting no? Hahaha.

The other ad says it goes on over the ejector screw and has a clamp.

Anyone experienced one of these items?

Would love to find a good functional, no modifications SMLE mount.


BTW, Cabela's Canada lists this mount...but every picture you see is different??

Some I've seen are of the No 4 mount...about half of the pics you see of the Sun mount show the No 4 mount.

From what I've read, the ATI ones are not good...which leaves...S&K.

Sun Microsystems? I guess computer programming and Lee Enfields accessories are virtually the same thing.

I decided to stick with quality and order a 1370 mount from S&K...they do ship directly.

They have either a Weaver mount or an S&K ring mount. The S&K rings are windage adjustable, which scares me...why? You move the front ring over to the right, leaving the rear ring where it is...you now have 2 rings not lined up with each other. Along comes your scope and...tweeeeaaaaakkkk. You've just tweaked the tube.

S&K has improved their SMLE mount according to them. The earlier ones had a breakage problem which is now fixed. Lifetime guarantee, US made.

$103.20 US shipped.

Very few are worth the money asked. Certainly not worth $103.20 US.

Well, there are always the cheapo Sun Systems Chinese ones for those on a budget...they're not worth a crap but they are cheap.

I would pay $103 US for that mount without hesitation.

Looking good: much better than the older ones.

October 18 is not that far off. I think I know what I'm buying for me for a birthday present!

I have this pair of Mark I***s, a 1907 Enfield Navy and a 1904 LSA Army; just want to see what they will do.

Price is okay, too. The old ones were C$115, over 20 years ago.

On a no.1 mk.3 these are by far the best mount bar none. If you want to see what your LE can really do., try this setup. Big deal $103 US. Steve

There's a way to mount a scope to any rifle with no gunsmithing involved. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/955054-Warning!

Not all of us have the ability to install a mount like that. It takes a special kind of person.

...I especially liked the rusty carriage bolts through the magazine...holy crap....

I gave up on 'no gunsmith" no 1 mkIII mounts, mind you I haven't tried the 'latest greatest'
I just make my own
I've posted pics of other ones I've made but these two are my latest rendering.
all made at home, DIY as they say.
these are resurrected muzzle damaged sporters , modified to 19"
the receivers were drilled and tapped for the old weaver TO-1 dovetail mount when I acquired them so I made my mounts to suit the existing holes/thread
no milling machine required although one would come in handy to clean it up a bit.
going to give them a media blast and coat them with arma coat.
and no, I do not make these for sale hehehe

I received the S&K mount the other day. Some very complex machining to make that mount!
Pics to follow when mounted.
