    Talking Before and After

    Hi All,

    About 6 months ago I posted pictures of a remingon 03-A3 that had the stock sportered but the metal was in good shape.

    Here is the before picture:



    Now after searching for correct parts, a replacement stock that I did the BLOicon and steel wool trick on (it is amazing how nice that turns out) here are the after pictures:






    I had thought about selling it when I finished it, but am not sure now that I can part with it!

    I would like to thank the members who answered my questions and offered advise.

    Thanks again,

    Norm

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Beautiful....Those USGI 1903A3's are very accurate....I have one that will do 2" or better groups at 100 all day long...Just make sure you have 4-7 pounds of upward pressure on the stock tip & barrel...congrats on a nice restoration...I bet you'll REALLY regret seling it........
