    Restored 1918 No1mk3*

    Hi everyone,

    Just a typical No1Mk3* (Enfield arsenal, 1918), refurbed using mostly Springfield Sporters parts. I refinished this one for a gentleman living in the Saguenay / Lac-Saint-Jean region in Quebec. Forend bedding was relatively straight forward, with some shimming needed at the sear lugs and barrel channel sanding in a few spots.

    Here, my oldest son is proudly posing with it. He's not shooting .303 Br. yet, and he'll admit he is looking forward to it but can wait a few years

    Cheers!

    Lou

    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.

    Hi Lou,
    That fine rifle looks good and it fits good to your son. Perhaps a nice Christmas present.....?

    Regards

    The wood also has that dark, aged linseed oilicon look of unrestored rifles. Just not as many "dinks"!
