    new to me 03A3

    Got this recently, seems to be a nice condition a3 in a scant stock. It has non matching numbers on the butt. Both serial number and barrel date to late 1943. The stock seems to be absent most of the usual stamps. What I can find are an X and. K in places that don't match what I've seen on others. Any ideas? No cartouches, no P, no maker's mark under the mag cutoff. Otherwise it's a nice clean example I think. I assume the scant stock was an in-war or post-war replacement? It does have to well done repairs behind the tang and on the toe. It's certainly seen some use.

    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.
