    Garand Stock Repair

    I had this very nice stock come into the shop for repair. It was broken at the butt area, probably from bouncing on the ground and a big gouge. You can see the scars from an en-block clip being smack on the side of the stock to straighten out a clip. Here are some pics of the repairs.

    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.

    Nice bit of repair work. The two curved pieces for the chips on the butt stock are neat as most of this type of repair were done with a much bigger patch.
