Has this been reblued?

**Oatmeal Savage** · 11-04-2006 03:09 AM

Sorry for being a pest. Please aid in my milsurp education. Has this rifle been reblued? Why I think so, no wear on high points or knob of the bolt. The stock looks too clean, but it doesn't look like it has been sanded. Am I out to lunch?

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.

I haven't seen it in-hand, but the wood at the edges is still crisp in all the low-wear areas and the handling marks aren't rounded and melted looking. I don;t think it's been sanded. The finish looks OK to me too. The Type 44 carbines are better finished than other Arisakas - this is well documented.
