NPM restoration complete!

**sakorick** · 03-14-2011 05:26 PM

I finished the NPM restoration today after some 6 months of rounding up a stock and correct parts. Paul I. mentored me through the process and came up with many parts. Without his help I never would have been able to finish this project and I am greatly appreciative of his patience and tutelage. Regards, Rick.

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.

Hello Bill. I ran an ad on the CMP icon

forum and about two weeks later a super neat guy sent me a PM with pictures and the stock looked real good. It wasn't until it arrived that I was astounded by the amazing condition. You just never know. I looked for an early Remington 03 RLB stock for 5 years and one popped up like magic.......don't give up! Regards, Rick.

You're a man after my own heart, great job! Here's my NPM I restored about 5 years ago, don't think I've posted it.
Hardest part was waiting to find the Buffalo Arms 9-43 barrel to replace the 8-44 Underwood that was on the carbine.

Great job, LE. I am having a blast restoring these old rifles. My next project may be a late Winchester. Regards, Rick.

It really is fun, so far I've restored 2 six digit Inlands (one in an M1A1 icon

repro stock), an early 1943 Winchester, Rockola, Underwood, Standard Products, the NPM, Saginaw SG and a Quality Hardware. All I need now is an IBM and an S'G'
