    I agree it is a repark. With ME like it is showing, I doubt if it could have a finish that good! My Underwood had and my Inland now are between 1 and 1.5, and both have a lot less "fresh" look on them. Back in the day when I was a dealer in the late 80s selling Blue Skies, another dealer took the re-parked ones and rubbed them down with melted cosmolene or grease (I don't recall exactly which) then wiped them down to make them look less fresh. It almost reminded me of when I was young and knew an old boy used to take STP and sawdust and put it in a rear end on a car that was whining before he sold it! Things are not always as they seem...

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Used to do that with stuffing Banana's into the rear end filler hole.
