    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.

    Am I correct in that the pinned stock is an A3 stock and the one with the cross bolts in a 1903 stock? I might swap them.
    Your Remington M1903 was probably overhauled and re-barreled by the Navy. That's why it exhibits no overhaul inspection stamp.

    The pinned stock on your Remington M1903 is a replacement from a much later Remington M1903 or an early M'03-A3. The very late Remington M1903's were fitted with pinned stocks.

    The stock on your M'03-A3 is the correct and probably original stock. Late Remington M'03-A3 stocks were fitted with crossbolts. I would definitely NOT recommend exchanging stocks.

    Thanks for sharing! And Merry Christmas!
