1908. Short bayo lug and "B in a circle" proof. While it can be used to unsporterize a Gew '98, it would still need the correct bayo lug and some internal relieving for the barrel and rear sight. The rear cutouts for the handguard spring retainer will still show. And of course, the acceptance proofs are wrong. But hey, the price was right and it is still nice have as a spare.

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.

So is there alot of people looking to restore these rifles or do I just have an old peice of wood? Anyone out there that needs one?

Weren't the stocks with the discs( vs. the disassembly hole) and no finger grooves in the forestock ~1916 and earlier?

Just looking around the internet, the stock cartouche on mine does not look any others I can find. Is this a normal cartouche or something that does not belong there. There is a good picture of it in my original post if you dont know what Im talking about.
