    If I remember right the NBA sporter had a finger groove stock. Not as nice looking as a NRA IMO. The NRA's were somtimes modified by G&H into some nice looking classic rifles.
    Here is a pic of my NRA sporter made in 1924.

    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.

    Had to go look in Brophy's book. As it's several hours later the exact details are falling out of my head, but IIRC the "NBAs" were all done in 1926- less than 600. Basically the same stock as on the .22s (with the finger grooves as pointed out above) but with cross bolts.

    Lots of the .22 stocks were surplused in the 1950's. This rilfe sounds like a standard rifle stuck into a surplus .22 stock. Likey a nice shooter, but not special by any means.
