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.

Beautiful! what did you refinish the stock with BLO icon

?

**mac2017** · 10-02-2017 12:07 AM

Nothing as of yet...ive used BLO icon

on it last few pieces but had to remove it with mineral spirits and had to stain all 4 wood pieces over with dark walnut stain then wiped down since the forend i ordered was so light after cleaning. The forend took about 3 coats or 4 cant remember letting each coat soak for 15 min then wiping off. So this time i think ill use a finishing wax and NOT BLO icon

. wasn't really impressed with the BLO before. I used 6 coats of it and after it was dry still felt as if none were on.

Bravo. Nice save!

**Ridolpho** · 10-02-2017 12:32 PM

mac2017: Looks great! The forend appears to have been previously used. What did you have to do (if anything) in the draws area to achieve a fit?
