Repairing "The matchstick stock"

**browningautorifle** · 07-08-2016 10:37 AM

I did a Cooey years back for an armorer in my battalion. The stock was cracked so badly it would open right up when turned and had pieces off. Another was a Savage 99 that had the stock broken into 12 parts. I had to make two pieces and the put those two together. All worked out in the end. Of course I have NO pics. That's a very nice repair...

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.

That’s amazing! You can hardly see the join. Great job!

Those I-Types are not very common. It’s good that you were able to save it.
