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.

Kr6ng,

Check the front left side of the nose near ajacent to the barrel channel. You may find an "S" and "A" there. I had one Springfield stock for several months - stripped it and BLO icon

'ed it - before I found the SA that was there all the time.

Well, so far I havent been able to see the SA but the mark in the sling well is definitely an M, I will keep a looikout for sa as I get time . The carbine shot well with this stock so I will use it for the range
Thanks to everyone for the info.

KR6NG,
Here's one I think matches yours.
It's marked with a M in the slingwell and has a Flaming Bomb stamped also.
It''s a Potbelly. My thoughts were it might be a Marlin stock used as replacements, but no proof of that. They are a nice heavy.... Stout piece of lumber though.

The M is the top one in this first picture, Below it is a HI.......

The slingwell marked with the M (upside down) and the Bomb.......

Here the M is the bottom one, Above it, is a late Winchester Lo-wood stock....

FWIW,

That "M" stock seems to have a smooth curve to the belly and is not as dramatic. I kinda like it. But I really enjoy a potbelly that shoots well. Its all about the recoil shelf and the nose for me on those.

Charlie, do you have any idea how many different companies made M2 potbellies?

T-R,
Couldn't tell you.
There were many that came over from across the big pond.

That is because it is the second style "pot belly" stock.

Charley, exactly right , there is a flaming bomb , funny how I can see things when I know where to look .You folks are sure knowledgeable. I will save the stock for the range . Probably try to buy another carbine for a shooter, have to check what CMP icon

has left , if any.
Thanks Russ
