    late 1903

    I looked at a rifle today that I am thinking about buying. The serial number is 1526964, the barrel is 3-39 and is star gauged. The rear sight collar has a C64122 stamped on it. the trigger has groves on it and seems to be a little wider then most I have seen and is stamped C6402. It as a straight handle bolt. The stock is an FG with BAWLL, RA-P PODD and R stamped on it. the park is black. There are no WW11 parts on it. Is this possible this was a NM rifle that got rebuilt into regular rifle at the start of WW11?

    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.

    My own thoughts, the stock should be a "C'" stock with pistol grip and drawing number with SA SPG cartouche. Your bolt should be marked NS. if you remove the handguard,
    do you have markings on the barrel midway ?

    It is very easy to change a stock from one rifle to another
