    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I don't see how that seller can sleep at night... Just off hand, I note that the stock has been "repaired" all the way across the butt (backward arisaka maybe?), stock is sanded and stripped, and shows much use even prior to the sand job. Not just you at all Bill, thanks for posting...

    There are scars from a receiver and trigger group spending a long time in that stack as well. When I saw the crosshatch repair to the butt I almost fell out of my chair! I have a dinning table with that same woodwork. But it makes a pattern.

    Heavily sanded and re-stamped. That stock is bad, but someone will probably buy it

    If you look at the photos I can still see the "nice red" stain under his fingernails.

    Is this price for real? Do people really sell this crap for that much money? If its in such "pristine" condition why does the butt have such a poorly jointed stub? Is the stock made from the rare and almost never seen reverse grained southern egypt walnut bush? Pardon me for being sarcastic but this is a but much.
