    I brought home my new Springfield NRA Sporting Rifle. Took a few additional pics. Looking forward to submitting a range report














    Only cartouche I could find was this "11" stamped in the pistol grip. Anyone know anything about this?

    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.

    My O3's plus an M2. I think I have one more NRA Sporter, not in this photo. I have had the M2 for almost 60 years; the rest are more recent.

    To me it feels like a part number stamp on an aftermarket stock.
    I could (likely) be completely wrong but that’s my gut feeling when I saw it.
