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.

I have never used them but if you cant find one maybe these guys will make you one. They make the whole stock set up for a Kar98a

PPHU Fox - Wooden gun stocks

Have you tried ebay? They do show up every now and then.

Good Luck!!!

I was about one week away from ordering a complete stock from PPHU Fox when one came up on ebay. I would think they would sell just the handguard if you asked. If you want original, ebay is the way to go. Might take years but it will eventually happen.

I actually got pretty lucky with this one. I think I watched ebay for somewhere between one and two months after I bought the rifle. I had watched the rifle at the gun shop for six months before offering him a lowball figure which he took because it had sat there for six months.

That was quite a saga...

I sent Fox an email. No response from him. I understand he is a hobby-guy, anybody know much about him?

**Aragorn243** · 11-21-2016 11:07 AM

I got a response from him very quickly. I expect he will get back to you soon. Remember the time difference. He's in Poland I believe.
