I have an 03A3 scant stock with "45" stamped under the butt plate and no other marking. Is it a manufacturing date?

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.

Is it a similar style of stock to this on my U.K. deactivated 1903A3 which is a scant stock, I believe? I wasn't aware that they were normally dated.

**Calflash** · 12-30-2016 10:43 AM

Yes, it looks like it.

I doubt it is a date - more likely just an obscure sub-inspection stamp.

Thanks for the help, gentlemen.

Are you able to post a few pictures, please, Calflash? It would be interesting to see and Forum members may be able to give you some further information.
