    A4 Stock

    3 years ago I received a greek return A3 with a very nice A4 scant stock. Nice bolt cut out and clear, readable acceptance stamps. Has EB/RIA rebuild stamp. I am 95% a shooter, so I'm thinking of getting the CMPicon wood set for the A3 and making a little cash on the collector stock. Is this a good idea and what is the value of the A4 stock? I like shooting the C stock much better. JT

    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.

    I would suspect your stock would be worth between $400. and $800. to the right party. I know that's a wide range and it will ultimately depend on the condition and all the markings (subinspectors stamps). Put another way if it was mine i would not take less than $400. and expecting more than $800. would probably be overreaching.

    Hope this helps.

    Mike Nope! If its decent AND has good marks (all of them!) AND a good, machine made bolt notch I think $400. to $800. is about right. It would be nicer w/o the rebuild stamp but hey you can't have everything!

    Regards
