    J. C. Harrison Ref

    Look at CC #8, lower left on Harrison's clear overlay template. Assuming the scale is way off, which I have heard it is on this template, the CC #8 Harisson calls "Provisional acceptance mark found on post-WWII replacement stocks produced by Jamestown Lounge" is pretty near a dead ringer. The trunions may be a little more pronounced on the Harrison template but, unless my old eyes are particularly bad tonight, everything else looks pretty close.

    That still doesn't account for the highwood, which makes no sense as a post-war replacement. I still don't know what it is.

    I don't have a Std. Pro. but Harrison says the SP cannon breech is not rebated. True or false?

    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.

    Sorry... My Mistake

    My eyes apparently can't see that tiny Harrison CC very well tonight. There is no round 'bomb' above the cannons on the Harrison Jamestown Lounge cartouche so I'm back to Walt Disney.

    While the over lay with the acceptence stamps that is in Harrisons book is wrong for all the stamps it has one saving grace and that is almost all of the fake stamps are based on it which makes it easier to spot the fakes. The stocks made by Jamestown lounge were not post war replacements. They are late war time made replacement stocks.
