    Question Is This SA/GHS Stock Legit??

    Just like the title implies. I bought this recently for a good price and decided it was worth the risk because the guy I got it from has a good reputation and handles a ton af Garandicon stocks. It has a faint cartouche, grenade sight holes and a rack number painted on it. What do you think? I am concerned that it is not original because the cut out below the trigger guard seems to be the Winchester profile. The "P" stamp looks a bit strange as well, it has no serrifs and I believe it should. There is also a small "N" stamped on the nose of the stock. All opinions welcome.

    Thanks,
    mdrim13

    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.

    I think it's legit, good luck with sorting it out though.

    I believe the P is from a proof after rebuild, but the stock looks "legit".
