    Help Id a Mystery S stock

    This is an early stock that was modified & then went through rebuild. Any suggestions about when it was made are welcome. Sorry - I can't post photos. Thanks!

    Length from tip to lower band shoulder = 11 1/8" (suggests made for 1905 sight & 1903 ctg)
    Tip not cut & filled; screw hole not plugged & no S on tip. (Not a RB stock)
    Low wood on right side (post Oct 1910 or wood lowered during rebuild)
    Two stock bolts. Identical so they probably were installed together
    Cut for spare parts container. (Post 1910)
    Two inspectors marks: Block letters AA above a W, abt .15" high (Brophy lists an AAW as 1905-1906), and a boxed A.A.J. (1918-1920)
    Single proof mark, a script circled P
    Other marks: just forward of proof mark: 77 , abt .1" high
    Cut off recess: S
    On bottom of inletting for receiver tang, a block B (or possible an 8)
    Rt side of butt: 42-14 with the 42- characters abt .65" high & the 14 abt.25" high.
    Under lower swivel 257 abt .4" high.

    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.
