    New Manufacture 1917 Enfield, Italian Stocks

    Has anyone purchased one of these new manufacture 1917 Italianicon made stocks from Gun Parts Corp? I am shopping for a new stock. Am wondering about the quality of wood and fit of these stocks. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1571830A

    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 ...

    I ordered one for a friend, 6 months ago or so, and i looked at it quickly when i received it.
    Very nice wood (not fancy) and well made.
    I believe he told me he had very little fitting to do.

    I think these originate from Minelli SpA. This company is known for selling 1903(A3) stocks to various retailers, so why not also 1917 stocks, especially if they mention they come from Italyicon..

    Edit: check out this site here ... Minelli replica - Minelli Group

    I have used Minelli stocks on A3's. Very good fit, only minor relief on the sides of the tang. They, to me, are much better than Boyd's.

    I suspect they make what they used to make for the Italianicon or other European governments, and no more.
    “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.

    I was not under the impression the Model of 1917 is a Lee Enfield Rifleicon .

    Seriously though: them not listing this on their website doesn't mean they don't make it. Seems they have a production facility in the US as well. Maybe done there and therefore not listed on the Italianicon website?

    Sorry, missed the 1917 bit. Would be nice if they did No1/4/5 stocks too.
