    M44 Stock Repair

    I recently acquired an all matching1945 M44 that appears to have received the post-war Russianicon refurbishment (red shellac post-war stock, dark black metal finish). The metal is in excellent condition but the stock has an interesting feature. Along with a multitude of arsenal stamps, the toe of the stock was replaced with a large dovetailed section. I was wondering if that was a normal repair for the Russians? Thanks!

    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.

    Holy moly!! I learned more in 10 minutes of reading that first article than in hours of other internet research. That is an incredible amount of information. I have a 1930 91/30 and a 1936 91/30 that came to me with stocks that were definitely correct for their year but were painted or had incorrect finishes. I stripped off the paint and refinished both with RLO. Looks like I need to get them out and redo them correctly! Thanks again!
