      20. Remove the sear upward.

      21. Removal of the small cross pin in the forward extension of the sear lever will release the ejector and the combination sear and ejector spring.

      22. To remove the rear sight, drift out the pivot cross pin. The adjustment slide can then be taken off the sight, and the blade spring can be pushed out of its mount.

      23. The front sight is dovetail-mounted, and is drifted out toward the right for removal.

      Reassembly Tips:

      1. If the sear has been removed and the ejector and combination spring are still in place, it will be necessary to insert a tool to depress the spring as the sear is reinserted in the assembly.

      2. If the striker and its spring have been taken out, note that on the final turn of the retaining nut the cuts in the nut must match the spiral track in the bolt head.

      3. When replacing the bolt head in the bolt body, align the flat on the striker shaft, the ejector slot, and the bolt handle rib, as shown. When the bolt head spirals have engaged the lugs, insert the ejector. The bolt head must be in the extended position (unlocked) for reinsertion in the receiver.

      In the bewildering array of “numbers” and “marks,” the Lee-Enfield rifle was the mainstay of the British military from 1895 to 1951. One version that is familiar to most U.S. shooters in the No. 1, Mark III rifle, as many of these were sold as surplus after World War II. For the benefit of those who came in late, “SMLE” is an abbreviation for “Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield.” Although the rifle was replaced in British service by the semi-auto L1A1 (FN-FAL) in 1951, the old SMLE is still in use in many former British colonies and in other parts of the world.

      Disassembly:

      1. Remove the magazine. Open the bolt, and move it all the way to the rear. Lift the bolt head lug on the right side, disengaging it from the detent spring on the receiver, and turn it up to vertical position. Withdraw the bolt from the rear of the receiver. Some amount of pressure may be needed to turn the bolt head, but be sure that the bolt is fully to the rear before exerting force.

      2. The bolt head is removed by simply unscrewing it from the front of the bolt, counter-clockwise (front view).
