    Bedding 03s and A3s

    Are there any detialed instructions on bedding 03s and A3s. I read some good info from this site, but it didn't answer all of my questions. I also ran across some confliction bits also. One fella mentioned not to bed around the rear lug, I'm pretty inexperienced in actually doing it, but I thought that you always bedded the entire action and what about the trigger guard? What about inletting, do you make the trigger guard and action bolt solid together with slight compression on the wood or leave them apart a bit. Pictures would be great also, any suggestions, books etc.

    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 ...

    I would suggest one of Clark Campbell's books: [U]The '03 Era[U. There are four editions of this book and at least the last three have SA's National Match instructions, and Campbell's.
