Fresh RMC Stamp

This is how an original stamp should look. This is from my collection. I do not know how the damage occurred.

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.

FrankieD,
Have a metal detector?
I had a NPM stock with the under forearm destroyed and also wondered how?
Son mentioned my detector to me, after knocking the barrel band spring out, we had 'Hits' on the damaged/splintered area. After some digging around we found some small distorted metal frags. Never thought to get pictures. Stock became a wood patch donor stock.
Your damage looks very similar.

Cheers,
Charlie-Painter777

Jim and Charlie, I always thought it might be shrapnel. It had to be high velocity to make that hole. It just does not look like it could be from dropping or bouncing around. I'll have to try the metal detector on it and see what it finds.

Best Regards.....Frank

Thinking back, we also found a few pieces of small frags in the side of the hand guard also. IIRC looked to be like steel splatter, like from welding or torch cutting.
Am 100% positive it had suffered from an unfriendly, be it man or mine... etc. But the inexspensive detector picked it right up

Could also have been a bullet ricochet, travelling sideways at that point...and yes, they hustle along...

Makes me wonder what happened to the guy carrying it.
