What to do with

I found this in a box in the garage. Have had it over 20 years. Keep trying to forget I have it. Looks to have been pretty worn, so then got reparked with the leaf sight on.

Really don't think it can, or would be worth trying, to restored it. I don't do reparking, any thoughts? I guess it could be a shooter. Don't know what to do with it.

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.

Easy, offer it up for sale. I'm sure somebody would love to take it off your hands, repark & all.

Heck, I'd take it off your hands if I was bucks-up. It has a certain charm....

I don’t have anything like that laying around in my garage, just old yard tools, lawn mowers, etc. Looks like a good project for Charlie.

If it will come off.

What mag catch is in it???? And is it the original one? Just for my own guilty knowledge. I would buff the new park off, buy all the required parts including stock required for restoration, assemble, bury in back yard till that really worn ugly but just right look came back. I just cant stand fresh park on a carbine.

Jim,
In your last pic....
Look to the left of the D marking on the slide...
On the left side of the barrel...
Just above the (hidden) gas cylinder....
Are those markings?
