    As far as RLO vs BLOicon it's a matter of choice. One big mistake made by many using BLOicon is using too many coats. It has to be thinned to really penetrate. When I dunk a batch in the tank...I thin it and warm it up for deep penetration. Too many coats equals a finish that looks to be varnished. Each stock is different as in how much natural oil it still retains. If using BLO you just have to know when enough is enough. Keeping the shine down and pores open is the object.

    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 ...

    Frankenstein!!! It's alive, it's alive I tell you! All you need Charlie is a couple of 1/4" bolts sticking out the sides!

    ABSA, very nice work Charlie.

    I hope you aren't going to waste your time on that Std Prods. stock? Looks like surgery with staples.
