    My newly arsenal rebuilt Inland

    I picked up this Inland 611548 , 8-43 barrel last month
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=218531439
    A previous owner had cut down the type 3 band and installed a repop flip sight, scratching the barrel up in places as well. I had it reparked by Steve at ADCO and installed a full type 3 band and a Type 2 milled adjustable sight. Turned out pretty good IMHO, back to a nice honest postwar rebuild!

    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 ...

    Classic rebuilt Carbine, nice wood. It is amazing how much different they look with the Type 3 and 30 rd mag, much more intimidating.

    You mean intimidating like an assault rifle?

    I'm trying to learn more about stocks and handguards. Are those SA birch? If the stock is an SA, are there any markings under the buttplate? - TIA , Bob

    No markings on the stock, unsure of the type of wood

    First, nice job LE.

    I like the fire power of the 30 round magazine. But I think the carbine just looks better with a 15 round magazine inserted. Better balance and more com packed. Adding a bayonet, flash hider, or recoil check, to me appears even more awkward. That's not to say I don't have all of those items. And everyone looks at things differently.

    Jim, agree about the bayonet, flash hider and recoil check. I think they make it look kinda goofy. Now a Model 1905 bayonet on an '03 Springfield looks WICKED![COLOR="Silver"]

    It's Birch and a darn good looking piece of wood. Whatacountry has lots of Birch handguards to match. Regards, Rick.

    I totally agree. It is like taking a light very handy well balanced weapon and hanging a bunch of junk on it. I don't like stock pouches or 30 rounders, as a camping tool up in the Warners, it is so easy to use , carry and point. If you can't get 'em in 15 shots, you won't in 30 either.
