1908/1903 Stock Repair

**frankderrico** · 02-17-2016 12:26 PM

Hi all, some of you may know of my work on the M1 icon

Carbine and other pages. I get all kinds of stocks that need repairs, both military & commercial. This one recently came into the shop. Step one was to clean it up and evaluate what needs to be done. Work on it's repairs are now in the process. More pictures to follow.

Best Regards.....Frank

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.

The early Rock Island stock without stock bolts is quite rare and worth the extra effort to repair

I sure agree with that...and as the owner of that stock I am thrilled that Frank is doing the work... I really like that rifle and it is important to me that it remains as true and honest as possible.

Could you provide any additional details on your rifle ?

Here are some pictures of the repairs on this early Rock Island stock. I have more work to do but thought some members might want to see the progress so far.

I finished the early Rock Island stock today. I oiled it with raw linseed oil icon

. I have included some pictures of its various stamps.
