Ordinary IHC Recr.?

**Homer03** · 03-09-2009 05:06 AM

Having just recently purchased my first IHC M1 icon

I have been closely examining the heel thinking that it might be slightly sand blasted. It is a SA'64rebuild. But now that I have the new GCA icon

Journal I see the one pictured also has a surface finish that is more pebbled than the others. I guess my question is whether the heel in the picture is sandblasted or if it is normal for the 5M range? (PS. Great Issue GCA!!-The Barn Wood WRA stocks pictured made me physically ill)

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.

What I have heard about some IHC heels is that they had forging issues. Around the top edge there can be places that are rough from original forging. I believe that this just applies to IHC made receivers. HTH
