    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.

    Is your A3 mainly a shooter or do you think of it as a collectors piece?
    Are the metal components still in GI finishes (original or rebuild)?

    It is a Shooter, a Hunting rifle, I don't collect anything.
    It is all original, GI finish, all R marked parts.
    I just don't see much of a need for the Stock to set and collect dust
    if someone else could use it.

    Sell it. Theres nothing special about it. If you ever want one again, they're easy enough to come by, if you want to spend the money.

    If the scant stock is nice enough it will pay for the C stock.

    It sounds like the rifle could be restored but if you are not inclined to do that then I think you might as well pass the stock along to someone who wants it.

    What do you mean restored, as in just putting the stock back on ?
