    Yep, I guess its ok for post-war commercially produced carbines to pretend that they are USGI, but I don't know what to think about USGI carbines being made to look like post-war commercial carbines?!?!?!

    Ok, I pulled it out from the back of the safe. Here is the 3rd Generation Universal. (Embarassed to admit I own it, now ya'll have evidence .) The receivers were pre-drilled for the scope mount on the left side. The holes should match. Guess you can always find the mount since the damage is already done to your receiver.

    Samandglove, I hope who ever did that to your QHMC carbine receives the capital punishment. Please send me an invitation to the hanging....

    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.

    Thanks for your advice Nsesco.

    Tired Retired - I really appreciate you going above and beyond to identify my problem. I just couldn't fathom why someone would try and "modernize" this rifle.

    If I get my pound of flesh, I will let you know.


    Thanks to all that assisted me with this.

    samandglove1, welcome to the forum. Before people started collecting carbines and when they were cheap seams like everyone had to custom them up. Scopes, carved I cut stocks etc. To bad but it happened. If you go the filler screw option you could use a dremill to remove the screw heads, or look for headless screws. You could also fill the holes with JB weld. Good luck, and let us see some pics of how it turns out.....Frank
