Before and After

**normrp** · 08-15-2010 05:38 PM

Hi All,

About 6 months ago I posted pictures of a remingon 03-A3 that had the stock sportered but the metal was in good shape.

Here is the before picture:

Now after searching for correct parts, a replacement stock that I did the BLO icon

and steel wool trick on (it is amazing how nice that turns out) here are the after pictures:

I had thought about selling it when I finished it, but am not sure now that I can part with it!

I would like to thank the members who answered my questions and offered advise.

Thanks again,

Norm

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.

Beautiful....Those USGI 1903A3's are very accurate....I have one that will do 2" or better groups at 100 all day long...Just make sure you have 4-7 pounds of upward pressure on the stock tip & barrel...congrats on a nice restoration...I bet you'll REALLY regret seling it........
