    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.

    That stock is really nice. The stock on the rifle we have been discussing has the oval cut. I wish it had the "I" cut like that one!

    I went to pick up the Inland today and was informed that despite having a C&R FFL and California COE, I still had to wait the 10 days since the gun is a consignment sale. Ridiculous. If I could leave California I would. On an interesting note, during the 1.5 hours I was there, they sold over 40 guns, many to first time buyers (which was pretty obvious). I will pick the Inland up and load pictures on April 4th or 5th.

    Finally picked it up today (went on Saturday but the State of California had a computer glitch that delayed everyone getting their firearms for at least 1 day past the 10 day limit). It appears to have many original parts but also some mixmaster parts (top handguard marked S-HB, Standard Products op rod, type 2 dogleg hammer). Other than that, all parts match what should be there. My main question is the stock. I don't want to mess it up. Can anyone advise if they believe it has been refinished? The overall gun appears to be in really good shape.

    Also, the rear sight is adjustable but it doesn't appear to fit in the dovetail slot correctly (the base of the sight extends past the edges of the receiver base). The "oiler" is a piece of plastic and the last owner installed the sling incorrectly. I look forward to your recommendations and advice. Thank you!

    Yes, you were correct, it has an "SG" receiver!

    What is the stock marked in the sling well? I don't see an acceptance stamp on the right side of the stock.

    He's already told us about the markings in earlier posts. I would say it was sanded and refinished during a rebuild at one time or another. I have a six digit Inland (476K) that I believe has the original stock. The wood is a bit higher than the butt plate and yours seems about even with it. I tried to make a composite picture with your stock and mine. Didn't turn out real well, but you should be able to see what I'm talking about. - Bob

    It is marked "OI" in the sling well. I think it has been sanded and refinished also. The cartouche that should be on the right side is gone and it just seems too smooth.

    I just did the same comparison with my Underwood which I am 99% sure is original and you are correct, there is a noticeable difference on the edge along the butt plate. Based upon the info, I know what today's COVID19 lockdown project is going to be. The pictures were a big help.

    The rear sight does hang off the sides of the dove tail on all carbines. The dove tail was not designed for an adjustable rear sight just the type 1 flip sight. So when centered it over hangs on both sides of the dove tail.
