    M48BO floorplate question?

    hello all,

    just pick this M48BO up and i notice the floor plate is kind of curled up on the trigger guard end... is the normal or is it bent?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Someone most likely tried to pry the floor plate off not knowing the proper way which is to push the button in with a cartridge or whatever. If it bugs you just bend it back.

    I'd just take it off and bend it back but that's me, especially if it's numbers matching. Couple blocks of wood and a hammer all you need.
