Some Interesting Stock Work

**frankderrico** · 05-15-2011 11:01 AM

This RMC stock came to "Frank's Stock Sickbay" after it had been run over by a car in a garage.

Well you know me, I took the challenge to try and give it a new life.

First came the clean up, then an assesment, and then start the repairs.
I have 26 pics of the step by step job. I thought I would start with these.
Hope you guys enjoy them.....Frank

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.

Here are some more pictures of the project. The threaded brass pins were already in the stock, probably done while in service.....Frank

Now it's done!!
Well considering were it started, it turned out pretty good. It gave me a chance to try some things out and like anything else you have to practice if you're going to be good.
In the end it was a fun project.....Frank
