    Question Springfield M-1. Late January, early February 1942

    Hello everyone. First post. I have an early Springfield M-1. Late January, early February 1942. All parts appear to be correct for the make and date, although I haven't had it completely apart to check on those not completely visible. Except, of course for the stock, which is a non-cartouched later stock. I have an SA/GHS stock which was refinished. Although the SA/GHS is still visible, the crossed canons are not (however, with a magnifying glass, great light and tremendous leap of faith. you can make out tiny remnants .) A couple of questions. 1. If some of the smaller parts are later arsenal replacements, how difficult would it be to obtain correct replacements? 2. There is an SA/GHS stock up for bid on Ebay. How do I determine if it is genuine (I had help getting the stock I currently have)?

    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.

    Check the "sticky threads" above under Inspection Stamp Quiz by Rick Bicon., you see find both original and fake SA GHS cartouches
