Hi gang. I have a question for someone who may have a better memory that I. I have a 1914 .303 brittish #1 mk III. This ole gal has a little different marking compared to others I know. The designation of S.M.L.E. is a typical one . This one ,though, has the marks S.H.T.L.E. ,and for the life of me cant remember what that stands for. Do any of you remember better than my broken rememberer can ????? thanks all.

iirc that is the one with the shorter stock for the little guys
my #4 is like that and my friend is about 5' tall and the stock is a bit too short even for him.

Not really the stock is regular 13 inch L.O.P. The O.A.L. is about 44 1/4 " That is pretty normal. I'll try to get a pic and set it up for you all.
