Digging in the wood pile again.

I were hunting for some Enfield wood for a few projects I have going and found this like new original stock and cheek pad. I recall buying a box with several stocks and smaller boxes of M1 icon

parts way back when. I think it will make a great wall hanger.

There was a back story but you must always buy the item before he story.

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.

Looks like SA open box typically found on sniper rebuilds.

I have one more complete parts set and DCM receiver with a nice stock and don't think flooding the market with another persudo sniper is in my plan.

More like a wall hanger.

I found this deluxe walnut blank (rear section) of a two piece walnut blank that was purchased many years ago. I had forgot about ! Perfect for single shot rifle or a shotgun, excellent figure on both side and ends sealed-up. I do plan on selling this wood. The M1 icon

rifle stock is early Winchester no trap from one of my riflesAttachment 103239

There was a story that Winchester was short of wood so they dug into the special figure wood to make M1 icon

stocks to carry on production. Very nice.

I would sure bet these fancy walnut no trap Winchester stocks were produced for the Educational Order M1 icon

rifles. Those stocks could have been set aside for M70 Super Grades until needed to help complete the E.O. contract. Afternoon sunlight helps enhance the photosAttachment 103240 Attachment 103241

Nice, imagine being issued with one of those knowing what you do now. You'd have that just glowing for morning parade. Then a trip to the obstacle course would change the gleam a bit...but you'd know you could get it back.

Awesome stocks! The Finish Mosin especally .. I could use that 91/30 ;P

It's amazing that WRA's priority rating was very low and they had real trouble getting material. Early on they were in imminent danger of running out of steel and having to shut down production. They had plenty of their own chrome moly steel on hand for commercial rifles but they could not get permission to use it. Finally the project manager took his job in his hands and authorized it on his own until they got more steel. Those are all the A and CM parts we see.
