    Very nice. As it is match conditioned, with the stock bedded to the receiver, I would leave it just as it is. You will find many match rifles with the stock varnished to keep it from swelling after being used during a match in bad wet weather. Maybe even match conditioned by a Marine Corps team armorer. Would you really want to mess with it. By the way, not that it matters, but I believe the hammer is from an M14icon. Semper Fi

    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.

    How did you figure? By the numbers on it? It may well be...?

    Jim, I may be wrong on this but I think HRA used two hammers in original production. HRA 5546008 and 5546008 HR N which is found in some H&R rifles in the 5.6 & 5.7 serial range. It is said that the letter "N" may be a contractor code. I believe those marked HR H, such as the OP's, were manufactured for the M14icon but, considering the late 1964 barrel, it too could have been a replacement used in the M1 rifle trigger group. Again, I am not 100% sure about this, guess it may be a question for Wayne Bradford.

    That's a good bit less than half of what most IHC's go for!

    It was made for competitive shooting. Besides the bedding the hand guard is screwed in to secure it from movement.

    That rifle in northern Ohio even in the shadow of the CMPicon North store would be priced between 900 and 1200 dollars and being an IHC closer to the 1200 number. Just moved to Tennessee and not sure about the prices here.
