Rock-Ola Stock

**frankderrico** · 10-13-2011 12:42 PM

I bought this on e-bay a couple of weeks ago. It was broken on the right rail. It was very dirty but looked like it had potential so I took a chance. Sorry no before pics this time. I cleaned it up and found out that the "Craftsmen" at Rock-Ola had done some fixing at the but and slingwell area. It was also cut for the M2, the best modification I have ever seen. I fixed the break and patched the selector cut out. Sometimes it pays to take a chance.....Frank

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.

Frank your work amazes me. Stuff others would walk past because they know they can not do anything with, you turn into a nice stock.

Good work.

Frank, Looks great. I have a Rockola that would probably look good sittin in that one.

**frankderrico** · 10-13-2011 03:20 PM

Hi Rusty, this is the stock I mentioned in my e-mail.
This is the band shadow. What do you think?
It would look good with my Rock in it also.....Frank

Frank, amazing! Thanks

Frank, you did good....

BUT....

That patchwork done in the butt of that stock is AMAZING!!!!

Hey, bud, when are you going to get your work up to THAT standard????

Seriously, that should make us wonder just how much craftsmanship and technical expertise has eroded from America.

Thanks Ed,
I agree, that is beautiful work. A lot of that "craftsmanship" is long gone.
I have some more to share in the next couple of weeks. RMC, Win, S'G' and some tricky handgaurd work.....Frank
