    USGI,
    That band is just like a repro I bought and rigged up a sling on my little crippled buddies grandsons shotgun (I believe it was a 28gage)
    Had bought it from Walter as a repro from carbinepartsdotnet. Exact same style with the screw and lack of welded lug on the other side.

    Deldriver:
    If your not looking for a particular HG, you'll have to wade thru them.
    I have quite a few here with ~1/4 described as unmarked. Upon Closer look, many of the ones described as being unmarked revealed the tiny TN mark, some partial stamped RSG and W (WRA) marks.

    FWIW,
    Charlie-Painter777

    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.

    The Riesch book shows Trimble as having supplied stocks to Saginaw Gear, but not handguards. Is that correct regarding the stocks? - Bob

    I would think they would have got them as a stock set. The HG would either have no marking other than TN or have a SG added. They would not have the R which is a different stock manufacturer.

    Now $81. Two days to go. It will go over $100 I'm sure.

    The wrapper is pretty cool, but not that cool.
