    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 ...

    Looking at it in 500x I can just make out the UEF over the GHD.
    Not sure, but believe in the middle of the wrist you can make out the circular ghost of a Underwood CC.

    Stock had to be sanded, to remove the splinters......... After someone put the Power Washer to it. Look at how it blew the grain open !
    I agree with Del, that it is a RMC stock.

    QHMC CC added to fill someones needs at the time, Shame.

    Example Pic of UEF over GHD:



    PS: May be remnant of Circled P on grip bottom, unless Washed/sanded away.

    That's pretty cool! While I am not happy with that result, it definitely helps with my decision process reference this rifle. Thanks!

    Jim,
    Somebody has tried a deep cleaning to degrease maybe using oven cleaner (which contains lye, a known wood fiber eater). Or maybe a too aggressive dish washer cycle.
    My WAG is a caustic cleaner was used followed by a water blasting. No Walnut should have a open grain pattern like this. If it did, they might as well have used oak for stocks.
    After a blasting like that, they had no choice but to sand away the splinters.
    I pulled stocks from laying in piles outside for years that showed sun fading and mildew but still had tight grain.
    Remember FRANKEN STOCK ??

    Out here on the Left Coast, I've seen exactly one Rock-ola. I would definitely buy one if the price was OK. Out here it would be $1000+ maybe even $1300.
