    My affordable attempt at the "T" model.

    1943 BSA equiped with the S&K mount and a 1952 Weaver K4 tri-post and a 1942 dated M1907 sling.




    My poor attempt at the "cross hair" shot.


    Cheek rest is next on the list.

    What do you guys think?

    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.

    That looks great, I like the way you have used a mount that doesn't damage the action. Rather than drill into the original butt why not buy a new butt and fit the cheekpiece to that? You'll always have the untouched original parts that way.

    Well done,

    Curly

    Thanks Curly, I am one of those guys who strongly dislikes ruining perfection or shall we say " bubbatizing". Like you suggested, getting a seperate buttstock for the repro rest is a great idea.

    I like it.
    I have a slightly 'used' No4 Mk1 that I was thinking of making a replica with. I have looked at Peter Laidlericon's excellent articles and the temptation is great... except I don't like drilling holes ( did that once before, regret it now ). Although technically 'wrong', this setup maight be the answer.

    yeah it is technically wrong but it was almost $400 cheaper than building a real T which would still be wrong lol
