    I just finished taking it apart and cleaning it. Not a spec of rust on it that I could see. No pitting, just a couple of wear spots where there is some stock to metal contact and the bluing is gone.

    I have discovered a problem with this particular rifle. I like fixing things. I like cleaning rifles, getting rust off, making the stock look nice again. There's NOTHING do do to it. I've now wiped it down, cleaned the stock with a linseed soaked cloth, taken it apart and put it back together.

    One of these days I have to start shooting them I guess. I have the ammo and the range and a way to get there.

    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.
