    First, you have an interesting name. I wonder how you'll feel about it after a few years here!
    I'm a throwback on a lot of stuff, and I'll just tell you that stripping all the "stuff" off your rifle is history washing down the drain. Clean it, stop the rust, if any, and clean the stock with Murphy's Oil Soap, no water, and tee shirts. Oil with RLO or BLOicon, (monthly debates on this subject), and hand rub in. Sand paper does not exist in my gun room......
    Enjoy your new Long Branch. It won't be alone long!

    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 ...
