    Photos, Please!

    I noticed this is your first post. Welcome!

    You'll be much more likely to receive replies if you post some detailed photos.

    Below is a link to a tutorial of a couple of ways to post photos here.
    Looking forward to seeing your rifle. It sounds great!

    How do I upload or post images on MILSURPS.COM? - Military Surplus Collectors Forums

    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).

    It is possible you rifle is unfired and this is the original stock.

    However, the checkering is not original, and that makes it unlikely the gun is new -- who would go to all the trouble of lovingly checkering a stock and not shoot the rifle? If the finish looks new, I suspect it is new -- newer than the rifle.

    Sight hood

    [QUOTE=Herschel;71817]M1Thumb, Congratulations, I would say that finish on your M2 rifle is the original one. I would carefully remove the front sight hood and LEAVE IT OFF. Each time it is removed or installed there is more damage to the finish.

    Why do you recommend taking off the front sight hood?
