Janicholson: Not exactly sure what you mean by front of bolt versus rear of chamber lugs, but I think you may have the 1917 Enfield (which has front of bolt locking lugs) confused with the Short Magazine Lee Enfield (Or SMLE--the standard British service rifle of the time) which has rear of bolt locking lugs.
