Can anyone advise what these markings mean? They are located near the muzzle end of the barrel channel in a "OI" Inland high-wood stock. Thank you!Attachment 106941

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.

The "O" is for Overton, the maker of the stock. I have some with that stamp, but haven't seen the other markings. Wish Charlie or Frank would stop by the forum - they are my "go-to" stock guys! - Bob

Hi Bob & Singer, I believe those are inspector stamps as the stock went down the line. Maybe Charlie could way in. Stay safe & healthy!

Best Regards.....Frank

Thanks. My Underwood doesn't have them and sometimes "X" has a negative meaning to it. I'm not sure what that "S" looking mark is.
