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.

Hmm, has a birchy yellow look to it.

**navchallenged** · 01-08-2017 11:51 AM

There are no other markings. 3 holes under butt plate

It may very well be a Beechwood replacement stock. Known used by the West Germans and Austrians.
Checkout the Austrian/Bavarian link at the top of the page.
Whats the rest of it break down to....

I got a beechwood stock marked SA, so guess used in US as well.

Down the page (link) will show SA Birch stocks.
They can really range in color, depending how it took the stain.
For Birch I look for a yellow ring around the back of the grip.

Looks like birch to me. The US never used beech in any rifle stocks that I am aware of.

TWH,
I can't tell about the OP's stock, not enough to see in that picture. Also would expect a SA stamp IF it were Birch. Therefor just guessing on his, as he says it's on a Bavarian UEF.

Be it War time or post War, I've never seen the use of Beech by SA.

Cheers,
