    Some Stock Work At Frank's Stock Sickbay

    I've been working on 8 stocks and 14 hangaurds for a fellow member of the forum.
    This is a real nice oval cut highwood Winchester that someone tried to "ENHANCE" the WRA on the right side.
    Boy you have to hate that (just leave them alone)!!
    Anyway we decided to erase the botched up job with plugs that were a common repair. The pictures show how I did it.
    The laser guided drill press put the holes exactly were they needed to be.
    Then it was back to the old method of hand sanding and staining. Oiling is next and job done.....Frank

    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. Brian Dick ...
