    smith corona 03-a3 already altered

    hello all, i recieved a 03-a3 from my grandfather when he passed and the wooren stock past the sling hook has been removed; to the bolt on top and from the sling point to the barrel on bottom. is there a way to scope this weapon without drilling? i have no problem shooting iron sights and will not destroy this rifle to shoot a scope. also is there anywhere i can purchase an original stock to replace what was taken off? thanks.

    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.

    Welcome to the forum. Pictures are nice!
    You can put an S&K scope base on it, with out needing to drill it; search forums here for prior S&K posts.
    Also folks like Sarco sell just the front end for your stock, they are stupid expensive, and a real pain to graft back to your stock.
    Its much better to find a replacement stock, new or old (about the same cost) unless you get crazy for an exact match to what you have then it will cost you.
    Stocks are for sale on flea-bay, here in the forums, Sarco and Numrich; and even at CMPicon; just be careful of new stocks, fit and finish vary. (I understand the CMP stuff is good).
    Good Luck
