    Not an average 91/30 find

    Ran across this 1939 Izhevsk today. What's different about it is that it is an unrefurbed import. Rear sight base is unpinned, rudimentary repair to the butt. Not a single matching part. At first I thought it was a Finn, or maybe a SCW example (the year ruled that out)..it definitely has been around the block. Have a look.

    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.

    I don't think Ivan uses stainless steel siding nails to repair rifle stocks, Bubba does though. On the plus side you have the original hunk of wood. It could be made to look half decent.

    Yeah, the stock repair may have been done here. I see an import marking, so with that think this may be a Balkan used rifle. Rough use. This also may have been a Century U-fix-em special with lots of character. Neat rifle.
