    1903 NRA sporter

    I have a 1903 NRA sporter in excellent original condition ( 43B sight, 8-24 barrel date, electropenciled W3L bolt, serno: 1265159). I have the original star gauge record dated 9/5/24 signed by GC Schnell. My question concerns the stock. It is what appears to be identical to the 1922 M2 stock but with two reinforcing bolts which appear original. It has a raw linseed finish. There is no proof "P" but on the toe in front of the sling swivel is a clearly stamped D28225. The stock, except for the bolts, is a perfect match to my 1922 M2. Other than the stock, this rifle is an easy 98%. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    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.
