RCMP members shot in DCRA/PRA matches, so it is entirely possible that the rifle was used in competition, with the PH5C. Savage parts on a '44 LB could be original, after Savage terminated production in the summer of '44, leftover parts came north.
Incidentally, a MP marked sight is quite uncommon; would be worth restoring.

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.

I though about doing something with the PH sight but the rest of the rifle was unmarked for RCMP. I wish it would have been. I sold it to someone who had a MP marked rifle but no sight. I did okay and I think he did too. Anyone care to take a stab at what wood it has?

I've only seen one of the LB laminate stock sets first hand, maybe two of the DCRA sets. A rare find either way.

Got any pics of these? Never seen one...

The shape it's in leads me to believe it was unissued or at least not issued to a military unit. Here's some pics. Thanks Dave er... I mean rogerdodger
