    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 ...

    Unhappy It's a cut down 1903A3...

    ...not worth much at all. Maybe 150-250 max. You'd need stock , handguard, handguard ring, upper swivel and band and screw , it's holding spring , stacking swivel and band and screw , nose cap ( bayo lug ) and it's screw. All this new metal would need to match the color and wear of the buttplate , triggerguard , etc. , and the buttplate may need to be fited to the new stock, etc. , etc. After all these parts and work , you'd have a rifle worth 500 or so.

    emmagee is right - $250 max. Even if the guy sold it for 250, your gonna be well into 200 gathering all the parts. You'd be lucky to get $20 for your cut stock. Sometimes you see a complete stock set w/handguard and all metal on auction, but you might be better off to keep looking. JMHO

    Although I don't feel as neagtive as the others about restoring a cut-down rifle, $500-550 is about double what it is worth. If all the parts were the correct kind and finish, I might go as much as $300-350, but $500-550 is way too much.

    The stock is a cut-down military stock - nothing more, nothing less.

    It really comes down to price. If you can get it for under $200.00 go for it. Then putting it back right is reasonable. Good luck.

    And to be correct, the safety shroud would also need to be replaced. It is SC. Bolt is parked as well. This is a sporterized, reworked rifle with mixed parts.
