    Working on this one for me

    This HI low wood has a bad break that I'm going to repair. When I'm done it will never break in the same place.
    These pics are after being cleaned and bleached. I have wedges inside holding it apart to dry.
    After it dries I will glue, clamp and put in two pins that won't be seen when the handgaurd is on. The breaks should not show when it's done.
    I will work on this one in between working on others and add pics as I progress.


    In the spirit of collecting, everyone have a great weekend.....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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hi Rusty, yes this one is alot like you Q-RMC except the break runs through on both sides. I'm going to put threaded pins in this one behind the band spring. I'll keep adding pics as I work on it.

    Have a great labor day.....Frank

    Well it got a little rainy here today so this is what I worked on. It's done and ready to go back into service. After the last fill and oiling the crack on the right is almost invisable, looks like the one on the left.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend.....Frank
