Type 1 M1A1 Save

**frankderrico** · 03-11-2017 12:38 PM

This M1A1

came into the shop, it needed professional work if it was going to be saved. Someone had made a crude attempt at fixing it before. I had to take it apart and start over. Here is the result. This stock will be for display only. I have another M1A1 I will put in a separate thread that will be a shooter and required a different kind of repair.

Best Regards.....Frank

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.

Nice job here again. Typical of many is the attempt to repair with substandard materials or bonding agents. Nice save, good recovery.

That's an amazing save on what would be a piece of firewood to most.

So sad to see cracks like that in a para stock. Even worse is the crude attempts at repair. So glad to see it get some professional attention. Thanks to Frank and those who save stocks like this one.
