    Dan,
    I stole it from another Forum, posted by another guy from Michigan.
    This article was published in 1957 in a Michigan State Police monthly publication entitled, "POST-ER".

    Original Post:
    Post war use for folding stock .30 carbine - M1 SERIES OF CARBINES [REF] - U.S. Militaria Forum

    My copy cat post:

    When time allows I'll try to search the local area for any links to the publication.

    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 ...

    photos for my post above






    Hmm, Should this be posted in the older thread?

    Found another set of holes . Clearly something was half blind pinned in this stock at one point.
    Shame as it is a high wood. There is another mark sanded off. Will have to play to see if I can get a pic.

    Cute photo of the two with the M1A1icon...all sorts of possibilities for captions. I would think the solid butt would be better for those guys anyway, the pantograph stock would collapse when not pinned to the shoulder and it offers no one handed support for covering suspects...not great for LEO I'd think. Not my first choice. Very cool looking but...
    Regards, Jim
