    Thickness of stock at wrist

    I know the type 2 stocks had extra wood left on later in 1943, however look at the pics..my early 208499 [Feb 43] Inland's stock wrist behind the recoil plate is much thinner than my Underwood 1422508 [June 43], stock wrist, by at least 1".
    War Baby says the change occured in Oct 43? Or did I miss something? The Underwood stock is type 2, with earlier UEF/GHD with no wheel.
    The 1st set of 2 pics is the Inland, [type 1] the 2nd set of 2, is the UEF.
    My WRA, 1108196 is in between, as is my 700K Inland/SG, but its closer to the earlier Inland's girth.

    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.
