    If you were in an Armourers shop anywhere in the known world, the next Mk1 fore-end on the shelf would be the correct one for any Mk1 rifle. They were designed and made that way! And if it wasn't the right one, say, it didn't have the cut-out for the catch, head, breech bolt, yhen you'd just cut it in.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Well...it's an early one. Maybe a bit steep, but I guess we'll see?

    A nice one with the early features is a couple of grand Canadianicon these days.

    That at least is where the bidding stopped. A very limited supply, but also a limited market.

    That price should flush a few out of the parts bins though.

    Both appear to have full length stocks in that photo. Don't remember seeing it here.
