    Paratrooper M-1: Look okay?

    Hi, Does this folding stock look authentic from what you can see of it? I know there are many posters that have better insight than I...
    Thanks...If legit, I might place a bid..

    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 ...

    The picture isn’t detailed enough to tell much but from what is observable it is a rebuild and has had the leather on the cheek pad replaced.

    Paratrooper M-1: Do they look okay?

    I'm interested on bidding...Many of you familiar with these paratrooper stocks, can you shed some light whether these look authentic to you? The hardware looked "too good", but I just don't know enough about them. The pictures are lacking, but any help would be appreciated.

    #2;To me it looks like someone replaced the folding stock with a new one. Walk away unless you can get more info and pics. The buttplate should be plainly marked B257614. Also find out if stock has been carved out for M2 parts.

    I don't like the color of the wire,it is the same color as the buttplate.Looks to have the same steel rivets on the cheek rest as the repo stocks. it almost looks like there is a laquer finish on the wood, not enough pics or details for that much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
