    Bubba strikes again!

    There are still people who have not yet worked out that FUBARing a rifle does not increase its value.

    You don't believe me? - Well take a look at this, but have your airline barf bag ready first!

    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 ...

    That would be an excellent truck or ATV gun.

    Nope, not too bad. Enfields aren't too common in these parts but the pore 'ole SKS really catches hell. All kinds of sights, optics and accessories duct taped, glued, bolted and/or welded on. They're so ugly they could be a modern art masterpiece. Appearently the bubba's that turn out these works of art failed shop class........................

    Explain the price, to me it looks like 103,000 Euros, $100,000. A bit steep.

    That looks like one of those commercially "improved" 2A1 "Jungle Carbines" that one of the big importers over here thrust onto the public not too long ago. Most of the damage was probably already done before "bubba" went anywhere near it.

    Explain the price, to me it looks like 103,000 Euros, $100,000. A bit steep.
    103.00 euros...the Germans use a comma where we (US) use a period.

    Ahhhh....... the rare 2A1 jungle carbine sniper rifle in 7.62mm.

    So rare that is does not crack a mention in Skennertonicon. Must have only recently been de-classified.

    Don't have one in my collection.

    May never get one, but such is life.

    Bubba's could well be a collectors item in themselves, after all, they would have to be one off's, you could almost guarantee that no two would be the same.
