    Finally found one for a decent price, however, it was sporterized (stock and barrel are cut)
    Any ideas/opinions on how to proceed with restoral? My intentions are to compete with this in Vintage Sniper matches (Western Games)

    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.

    Seems you need about everything. Brian Dickicon at BDLicon Ltd has done bags of these, maybe ship it to him and stand back. Find him here... ( https://www.milsurps.com/member.php?u=2818 )

    You still have to find the optic and mount...he'll do the rest I think.

    I have shot a bd restoration and it’s the best one I’ve ever used for targets; I will say that it did not compete well with the Russianicon, Swedishicon, Germanicon or American snipers. Every few rounds would throw an 8 or 7 ring and that just burned my hide... my best shooting vintage sniper is an 03A4 with a Lyman Alaskan scope. 2nd best is a toss up between a Swedish M41b and the Top Mount PE. My eyes at 51 are still good so the 2 1/2 x is fine. As I get older probably the Swede will have to be my go to. The restoration ain’t cheap for what it gives you l. I hope this helps

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
