Am I missing something here??

Saw this M1903A3 stock on AuctionArms. It appears to be in good shape and have a nice grain, but as far as markings, nothing special. But $338???

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.

Whack yourself in the middle of the forehead with an open palm, at the same time muttering "DOH"!

Don't worry, the rest of us do it too, but normally we figure out our senior moments before we post 'em!

There are vitamin supplements for this...........

I'm thinking you missed the point 'cause your eyes have been "seered to near-oblivion" by a multi-colored afghan! --Jim

Go ahead - give me your worst. One of my wife's pet peeves is that I skim notes she leaves and miss about half of what she writes down!

Another well-known member of this forum and I were looking at a RIA on one of the auction boards and we were going on and on what a wonderful rifle it was. Then one of us happened to notice that the receiver was a Springfield!!

Do me a favor -- just don't tell my wife this happened, PLEASE!!
