    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 ...

    If there are no import markings then it may be a bring back if it's in the US. Not unusual for bring backs to have miss numbered bolts in them.
    Parkerizing would be the cheap way to do it as an owner or dealer had it refinished to make it look better maybe.

    The serial number stamped on the buttstock is definitely RC.

    I finally took a close look at the stock finish. It is the type of junk shellac finish the Russians are known for. I still don't think the Parkerizing was done by the Russians but by a previous owner.

    I believe it could be just parked metal from another 98 that was then transferred into an RC stock.

    EDIT: I just went and viewed the photos again the stock is matching to the metal. So discount my theory.

    I saw many Kar98's in Viet Nam. They came in all flavors, blued, parked and black. Russianicon capture, Frenchicon capture, even Chinese rifles. Could be out of RVN.

    The Russianicon capture rifles that I have seen have virtually no matching numbers and usually have the S/N electro-pencilled on the bolt.
