    Congratulations on the good job, you turned it back into a nice looking rifle.

    I hope you didn't throw away the sporter stock, because it's a nice original Springfield M1903 C-Stock (S-marking in cutoff area). There are stock foreends avaliable, would make sense on this stock. Did you check it if there was a drawing number in front of the rear swivel?

    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 am quite impressed by the stock. Blow away as a matter of fact.

    The only marking on the stock are those in the cut off. There are numerous places where a rasp was used to thin the stock or to remove markings. The forestock has also been tapered back father then I believe a replacement forend would repair. I am in fact keeping the stock. Never know when a use might come up.
