    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I say it's from a Winchester, if it's all like that photo it's nice. Possible late Winchester follower I see?

    Your suspicions are correct, Mark.

    It is not a Winchester stock.

    barrel channel

    barrel channel has the SA machined pattern on the right side, trigger guard recess is SA, only the early WRA RS stocks had the trigger guard recess without the notch in the center

    The follower is not Winchester. "13" marked Winchester followers had a different shape and no seriphs on the numbers. The rear sight cover is not WRA either.

    I thought it was a Winchester stock because of the angle here:

    But it's easy to see that the Overton cut is the same as the one in the auction.
    I thought Overton's stocks were birch like the one I have(not mine in the picture). Here is Winchester on the left and Overton on the right:
