Metal Stock

**bart leslie** · 08-10-2009 07:09 PM

Several years ago i worked at a local gun shop. One day an older man came in and wanted to sell some parts he had collected at his job. Turns out the man worked at a testing and repair facility during WW2 for the M1 icon

carbine. One of the more interesting items was a metal stock. I have read about the military trying metal due to wood shortage. Is this possible i have one???? E-mail me for pictures

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I should think that this one will get a few eyebrows raised.Beware of George Liakos in any of his many personae offering you fifty cents for it though.

Congratulations on a VERY interesting find.Perhaps you should also post photos of the other bits and pieces for all to see as well.JR

A clip holder for the oiler, where's the fun in that.

We all at one time or another have fought the sling going around the oiler.

I've never seen one like that.
Hard to tell from your pics........but it almost looks like a long barrel channel. A Hi-Wood...( Hi-Metal ? )
Could you measure the frt barrel channel to see if it's over 4" long.
Very cool find. Would love to see better pictures.
Thanks for sharing your find !!
