    I am going to try to find the parts to Get it back to original shape as it was in 1942. Is it a plus that it is BSA?

    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.

    You'll need to look on Ebay and see if you can find the wood, at least three parts of it. You have the rear handguard, which to me is the hardest piece to find. You need almost all of the metal for the front end, the band, the swivels and screws, the bayonet boss and screws and spring...rear sight protector ears and screw...

    Here is a link with all you need to know about the Enfield No1 Mk3*,

    It shows drawings and component lists as well.

    I do not know where in Norwayicon you will be able to buy the parts - You may have to buy them from the USAicon.

    It is a nice rifle with a history, if you can, restore it to its former glory.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

  11. Thank You to Alan de Enfield For This Useful Post:

    Not the variation that I think BSA used in 1942 but in my opinion it's the earlier better type.

    Not in the best condition but cheap, wood work would need to be fitted in accordance with Peter Ls guide if it's a shooter

    Lee Enfield SMLE Woodwork set | eBay

    May not be BSA but its the correct type.
