    1891 ARGENTINE MAUSER holes in stock?

    Happened across a nice matching # 1891 in great condition with holes like the ones in the photo in the stock. Any ideas? The photos are of a carbine. Mine is a rifle. Same holes.
    Stumped.

    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.

    Someone fitted a finely adjustable peepsight/diopter to the stock, being unwilling or unable to fit it to the receiver.

    That was all I could come up with but seems unlikley that I would find a photo on line with the identical pattern and location. Not to say that is not the answer. Only other scenario I could conger up was a grenade or volley sight?
    Easy enough to patch up. Now If I can find an early (short) hand guard I will have a decent example.
