    Did Someone Here Ask Me for a WRA Type I, I cut Stock?

    Someone asked me sometime back about a WRA TYPE I.
    Can't remember who..........
    I know of one that passed thru my hands that will soon be offered for sale.
    All Original correct markings with NO Armory or Rebuild/Inspection stamps.
    Just the Large Boxed WRA over GHD and Circled P proof on the bottom of the grip. Also has the number and letter markings on the right shelf and wood bridge in the receiver area.
    Not sure at this time if it will end up on a Auction Site.
    Will pass along the info as soon as my friend responds.
    He's a member of the Carbine Club and decided to sell to help cover part of the cost of a new buy. It won't be cheap and shouldn't be, but well worth his asking price.
    One chip under the front nose, where it looks as though the barrel band may have snagged up is the only issue with it. It's pictured below, but didn't have the metal attached at the time.

    I saved these pictures of it....

    More Later,

    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.

    Show me a type 2 SG stock in that condition and I'll be all over it! Good original wood is the hardest carbine component to find, IMO.
