Aragorn and Calif-Steve have already said it. Forget restoration to original configuration. Just enjoy what is probably an excellent shooter.

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.

I've got the same carbine in original military configuration. THEY ARE GREAT SHOOTERS! With 139 gr hand loads, it shoots 5 shot 1" groups. Amazing that a 100 + year old rifle can out shoot most modern rifles. Enjoy what you have and have fun.
