AA Auction 9238553 (Ended 08/09/2009, 17:07:00 PST) High SN#...w/ real 03A4 Sniper C stock!...NICE GUN

nice rifle, but someone apparently REALLY needed a nice A4 stock..

NO RESERVE!! Here's a fairly late production Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903. This rifle would have been made in about 1919 and is what is known as a "high serial number" rifle, made with the properly heat treated receiver, and is safe to shoot (unlike the majority of the RIA 1903 production). This rifle appears to have been reworked at some point and now wears a 5-29 dated Springfield Armory barrel and has a WWII Remington bolt. What's great about this rifle is that it is fitted with an authentic WWII Remington 03A4 Sniper stock! This is the pistol grip "C" stock but has the relief cut for the turned down bolt of the sniper rifle. This is an original stock, not a faked job.

although this (other auction) wasn't a bad deal for someone: http://www.auctionarms.com/search/di...temnum=9261361

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.

What is an original 1903A4 stock going for these days?

**AKA Hugh Uno** · 08-10-2009 10:30 AM

1300 - 450 (barreled high# RIA action and hardware) = 800-900 bucks.

A bare A4 stock with all the proper markings sold on eBay a couple of years ago for about $850.00.
