    Very nice, sort of reminds me of the microbed Brownell's used to sell. That stopped 25 years back I think. It was a two tube epoxy with die.

    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.

    Nice blueing on the metal.
    Too bad they lost the rear sight when the scope was mounted.
    Why do people do that?

    A factory stock will not line up your eye with the scope properly btw.

    I think that I have changed my mind about fitting a new stock to this rifle. The Remington 721 in 300 H&H that I sent to McGowen Precision Barrel just arrived today and what I think I will do, since the 300 H&H is no longer original is use its original stock on the 30-06 Rem 721, and fit the new stock to the 300 H&H.

    I bought two stocks a chunk of Gaboon Ebony for the forend and a bit of Holly wood for a spacer between the stock and forend tip. Just need to decide which stock to use. One has a really nice red transition and the other has really nice character.

    The top one will require a lot more work in profiling the wood, it's on the thick heavy side; but that grain pattern is hard not to want.

    I had a stock like that in the '80s for a Mauser action and to make it sexy I sat with some wood chisels and carved the extra out, bringing the edges into a sharp relief. It turned out really nice but of course years later it sold like everything else seems to.
