I read in an old 2009 post by a member called "relbut" that "The early Mark II chargers have a small "nib" on both sides at RH end, this was done away with on the later Mark II and all other Marks. The "nib" was to facilitate the location of the charger on the SMLE MkI which had a sliding guide on the bolthead. As the SMLE MkIII came into vogue with a fixed charger bridge the "nib" was no longer required." The nib refers to a tear drop bulge punched out in a Mark II charger. May someone who has SMLE MkI post a photo of this sliding guide so I can understand the above explanation? Thanks aforehand.
