    Thx all....Ridolpho i had to sand the little arms on the top wood back so they line up with the forend grooves for the clamp that holds wood together and then i had to unfortunately cut the square piece off the butt stock bolt so the forend would slide on. Its very easy to cut the bolt with a grinder and NO need to measure because the square part eventually turns into round and where the square part ends where it meets bolt cut it off and it will be exact fit for stock and sit flush on collar. I used dark Walnut minwax stain to achieve even color and blend.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Very nice work. You appear to have got a very nice looking patina to the parts and they look very good together. Something rarely achieved by most of us when "restoring", and I include myself in that.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    What we now need is a range report. See if it shoots as good as it looks. Nice restoration job.
