    Swede with Walnut Stock

    Picked up a nice 1896 Swede with a walnut stock at a gun show yesterday. Most all Swedes I've run across have beech stocks on them. When did the use of walnut cease?

    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.

    M96 stockwood

    You have a very fine example there!

    All Frenchicon walnut up to 1915, when WW1 stopped deliveries. After that , the factory tried several woods - red beech, maple, elm, also some walnut imported from the USAicon. From 1917 on, red beech became standard. So a pre-1915 rifles with a non-walnut stock is carrying a replacement stock.
