    stock m1903

    Hello
    I wanted to ask what kind of wood they used?
    Can it be a replacement stock or is it something commercial?
    they usually used walnut that was darker.
    It has no marks on the stock, it is kept very well without blows and has a repair
    the serial number of the weapon is from 1921
    thanks a lot to everyone

    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.

    Wanaxit, It does not look quite right. It looks to have been obviously heavily sanded and the butt has a spliced repair. Note that 1903 stocks should stand proud around the metal parts. By this I mean there is extra wood around the buttplate, triggergaurd etc. Also when a stock this age shows no bruising or marks it probably has been sanded. The wrist and comb have been thinned down too much also. It would look a lot better with a medium dark walnut stain and some BLOicon. However, I would replace it if possible. Salt flat

    ok, thank you for answering
    so on all m1903 they used only walnut wood?
    sorry, what do you mean that there is wood in pù?
    On the wrist I noticed that the groove is not quite thick.
    in Italyicon finding an original stock is almost impossible
    thank you

    The butt looks like the way the Japanese put Arisakaicon rifle stocks together...never have I seen a 1903 stock like that.

    Wanaxit, I think the stock is walnut. It has just had all the old finish and dirt, grime and oil removed so it looks lighter than it should. It has been thinned out overall and that lower repair done. If you can't find a replacement I would just go ahead with the stain and the BLOicon. It might look better than you think. Salt Flat
    PS. Cold and rainy here in Washington state while you are in warm Italyicon-------
