    Calling the third rifle sporterized would be very charitable... I think Bubbaized would be a much better term.

    The two drilled and tapped holes for the Lyman Receiver sight, I can tolerate. In fact, having a receiver sight installed on a rifle, with a scope mounted as a primary sighting device, can be a hunt saver if you damage your scope.

    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).

    Chuck:
    Thanks for the tip. I checked the stock recoil bolts with a magnifying glass, and, they are staked... So, it looks like I will have to get three or four sets.
