Converting a 1943 R.E.L Canadian № 42 into a № 32 Mk1

Took a few nice glamour shots of it today, now the scope has had time for all the work to settle (The brass to patina off) The colour and age match to the front shade is pretty darn close.

Also finish the new graticule, getting this rail and post right was way more work than I was expecting! Extremely fine and any slight move and its game over. Got there in the end...

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'd like to find some of these too, for a similar project.
