    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 wouldn't gloat after making a good bust. This guy knew exactly what he was doing was illegal, he lied to the Canadianicon Border Patrol/Customs, these people do this daily and can spot deception very well by your verbal and non-verbal responses. Add the quick computer check and I'd say a red flag went off and it was time to check the gut out. Four loaded handguns, not political but stupid, this makes the near 100% legal law abiding firearm owners look bad to those who know this is not what personal liberty is all about. As for the final result, after the case is adjudicated it's off for destruction sad to say, but it is this morons fault, not Canadian LEO's doing their job to protect both our borders.

    So is there a legal way to transport firearms by road across Canadaicon from the lower 48 to Alaska? Seems like there ought to be a way to do it, obviously not this one but can you have a shipping agency do it?

    Proper paperwork and much sweating. Just takes time. If you move here, you would have to leave some stuff at your brother's place and just bring the ones we can have here. You could confir with Joe Salter on it, he's done enough I think.

    Stupidity. The miscreant should have known the 'gun laws' before he attempted to enter Canadaicon and, at least not have lied at the border - if he had told the truth he might well have been simply turned back by a kind Canadian Customs official. The firearms could have been gotten to AL legally but it would involve an expense - an expense now made relatively minor by the difficulties the man faces. If our Canadian friends are angered by this, they have a right to be; they have been working for years and at great personal expense to reverse their government's anti-gun position. We U.S. citizen gun-owners feel the same when our 'southern neighbors' attempt similar things on our southern border.

    you said it "oldcrow", if the guy and his collection is legit then i feel bad for him making a big mistake, cuz it's gonna cost him large in legal fees. If he was up to no good then i don't feel bad for him. (jus wish that m1a1 could come to a good home, MINE)
    This is not the first time someone driving to Alaska failed to advise authorities of their "collection" on hand and got caught. I sympathize with those upset about the hassle of driving thru Canadaicon to get to Alaska but... it does look bad and we have been fighting the anti-gun crowd for a long time. Jim

    He was up to no-good............

    Anyone knowledgable about firearms and claiming to be a collector would not have an RG10 .22 revolver in his "collection". He would have to also know that the H&R shotgun that had been sawed off behind the reciever and in front of the fore-end was totally illegal to have in his possesion.
