Here's my M1A1 repro

**LeagleEagle** · 12-14-2009 03:36 PM

Got most of it done a couple of years ago. Found an Inland 297xxx barreled receiver (3-43) at a gunshow. Restored with all the proper Inland parts for that serial number range. Found a high wood repro stock on Gunbroker, sent it to Chuckindenver who, in addition to doing the repark job, Did the cheek piece recess to sharpen it up and give it more definition like the originals. Couple of weeks ago discovered a guy on gunbroker who reparks the stock metal, substitutes the proper sized leather and attaches it with 7/4 brake rivets. Stock just came back today and here she is, Sling is a repro

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.

Not bad!

That's a very nice rifle, good job on the reproduction! I wish I could someday do something like that, but you can't by one of those reproduction stocks here in New York as far as I know. Oh well...

Very nice, enjoy.....Frank

If you had one on a Carbine prior to the passing of the NYS AWB, then it was grandfathered in.

It looks really great, but were not the wire stocks, hinge parts and top hinge cover matte blued, at least on the early ones? The detail on this one is great, like the blued small parts. I just saw a nice khaki repro jump leg case for the M1A1 icon

at Sportsmans Guide. It has the flap cover and leg tie, although it's shown with a full-stock carbine jammed in it.

All my research indicates that the stock metal was parkerized.
