    "Sporterized" Stock & Trigger Guard

    About 30 years ago, I bought a Remington 1917 at an auction sale. It had been "sporterized" in the usual way, ie, handguards tossed and stock chopped forward of the finger grooves. Other than that, pretty much intact with a barrel date of 7-18. I was a hunter and a shooter and had no interest in restoring military firearms. I ran across a Fajen stock together with a straightened trigger guard at a gun show and that is what the rifle wears now.

    Now to the point of this post: Is there any interest in the original stock or guard? The chopped stock has no markings I can find other than boxed 3GM-K on the left side beneath the ejecter box. The trigger guard appears to be Winchester with a stamped W behind the magazine and a stamped A.R ahead of the magazine.

    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.

    If you put it up on the WTS forum you may have luck. Useable is still good.
