    I think if a man sent a pattern to them for reproduction, they could pantograph about anything. Would that ever be valuable...

    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 ...

    My 1916 LSA restoration was also a full new reproduction stock set, although not from Prestige, made using the same technique. The results were very pleasing. It takes more work inletting and bedding than a No4, specifically to get the nose cap to fit properly, and to get the correct bed on the draws, with no gaps. To get a good finish I had to sand and apply boiled linseed oilicon many times. A very enjoyable project though.
    Cheers,
    Burton.

    Got a shipment notification already! I emailed them a question about how the wood is shaped around the mag cut off. About 20 minutes later, I had a picture that answered my question. Pretty impressed so far.

    Received the stock set from Prestigious Wood Stocks for the LSA No1 Mk3

    Here are few pics of the stock set from Prestigious Wood Stocks out of Canadaicon. I am not in town so I cannot "pet" them yet.

    Looks good so far.

    Looks like nice material, lots of extra there on the front. Looks like you'll have lots to do when you slim it down...
