    What wood do i have?

    Hi Guys
    This came of a Long Branch N04 MK1*. I was wondering what type of wood it was. Is it the Birch?
    Regards Chubbs

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It looks like the forend and rear handguard are birch. Buttstock and front handguard are walnut. Perfectly acceptable as the standard was a reasonable match.
