    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.

    Italianicon Arsenal Stamp "Fabrica Armi Terni" they restocked and reworked carbines for the Italian Air Force. About 5 years ago, they were the source for CMPicon carbines.

    Weren't some of the Italianicon returned stocks stamped F (Letter before B) G?

    Ft Dix,
    What type project?

    I can't get a good view of your pics.
    Is it a GI stock?
    Any markings in the slingwell?

    Cheers,
    Charlie-Painter777

    Some USGI walnut stocks were refinished & stamped FAT, but they usually have old USGI markings. Replacement stocks will be European beech stamped FAT, with no USGI markings.

    You also may find the marking and year under hand guard on the barrel directly in front of the chamber. John

    FortDix6668, nice looking stock, it should make a good shooter. That SA stock was made with the M2 cut out and no bridge. It should be nice and beefy if it has not been sanded. With the FAT stamp I doubt that it has been sanded. Since you're going to use it for a shooter carbine, I would just drop the gun in as is. There is nothing wrong with the FAT stamp on it. Good luck and how about a range report when you get a chance. Best Regards.....Frank
