    Rockola 4.58

    Picked up this ROCKOLA off of an Auction last week. Finally got me a Rockola. It's a solid piece and a good start. Needs a few items, but at least I got one, and they aint getting any cheaper. I too became a contributing member, very small sacrifice to be able to get on here and argue with people about Carbines....LOL. The Rock has got a very nice and unusual grain WRA stock. I cleaned it up and put a couple of coats of 50/50 mineral spirits and BLOicon, after cleaning it real good with Murphy's Oil Soap. What do you think?

    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.

    Rusty, nice Rock-Ola. Congrats on finally getting one. Is that a crack/split in the right rail above the safety? What does it have for a TH, bolt etc?
    Anyway glad you got it!!.....Frank

    Frank,

    It's all Rockola except for the mag catch and safety, and the crack is just superficial-not all the way through, more of a splinter if that makes sense. It has a flat bolt, I think it might need a round one though. In the area of mixed use, same with the trigger Housing, may need brazed stamped instead of milled. Still studying.

    It's a beauty, Rusty. I would rub in a thin coat of Raw linseed oilicon on the stock and handguard, let it sit for 24 hours and repeat. It looks thirsty to me. I'm still looking for a Rock too! Regards, Rick.
