    M1903A3 New Stock

    The stock that came with this Remington was cracked and patched, so I replaced it with an unissued scant stock. After reading all the search suggestions I decided to use pure tung oil for the stock set. BAR and others chimed in and I thank you all.
    The SN of the M1903A3 is Oct. 1943, and the barrel is dated Sept. 1943. Old, but accurate it deserved a better look. I will keep the old stock set.
    A part of the follower had come off and Vincent kindly offered to weld it for me, so I sent it off to Texas. Got it back like new. It was important to me, and I thank him.

    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.
