I would be interested in buying your MK1 buttstock if you want to get rid of it.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Okay , here are some photos of what I haveAttachment 64823 Attachment 64824 Attachment 64825 Attachment 64826

The last 4 photos show a thin crack in the wood along the top of the slide cover. I'm sure it could be easily glued down

That patch that's coming unstuck.......... It's a genuine Armourers patch and easily made good by being re-stuck or just chop out and start again. But make sure you replace all the tell-tale signs of REAL Armourers work. Such as the undercut dovetails and oak pegs!

Peter, all the patches are rock solid. The charger handle cover has lifted a little bit and split the thin bit of wood between the surface and the groove it slots into. More cosmetic then anything and we agreed a deal.

Maybe you could remind him to come back to the forum with his gun sereial number and of how he gets on with the changeover in the future

I received your generous packet of goodies today. Many thanks again!

I have now completed everything that I wanted to on my Historic Arms Semi-Auto "L4" rebuild. I changed the buttstock, return spring, striker spring, bipod and carrying handle. I took her (are Brens female?) out to the range today and ran through 40 quick rounds. Everything ran very smoothly.
This is what it looks like now:Attachment 64850 Attachment 64851 Attachment 64852

Thanks to everyone again for your help, especially Peter for explaining things to me in simple terms and for sending me the carrying handle parts.

I'd look around for an L4 type flash eliminator now.
