    Rebuild of 1916 Lithgow after bubba and neglect

    I recently picked this rifle up after months of looking at it sitting forelorn in a local shop. Bubba had cut the stock years ago but not any metal, thank goodness. It was also quite rusty but it cleaned up really nicely. Numbers match and no import marks. So now it has a new stock plus a bayo and needs the rest of th metal stock bits to finish it off. Then it will be off to shoot another rescued milsurp.

    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.

    Well it is a couple of steps closer to being finished! Stock disc is in, all the swivels are on and the rear sight ears are on thanks to a very generous member who donated the parts and paid to ship them and then refused to take a payment!

    A tiny few more bits and it will be ready to take out and shoot! THANKS! ENFIELD ADDICT!!
