    Whats up with this.

    Sounds kind of Bubbaish to me but I could be wrong.

    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 didn't know that eBay allowed the selling of barrels now?

    Is that a new policy?

    Regards,

    They have changed the policy I think, things such as barrels etc can be sold but only within the USAicon, there is a post or thread on the M1903 or the P14/P17 forum by Chuck in denver.

    They [quietly] changed their policy a few months ago. It seems it was cutting into their profits.

    Amazing how alleged principles are expendable by the anti crowd when money comes a knocking.

    I have just been checking the "Swedishicon Mauser" section on e bay and there is a complete bolt for the m/96 and a barrel for the m/94 carbine, both being shown as being able to dispatch outside the US including to the UKicon, I don't know what customs will say if someone attempts to import pressure bearing parts without the correct paper work as these are section 1 items are they not??

    They may be under the impression that because they are parts for an 1894 Carbine, the parts are considered antique and therefore not subject to import/export law. Just a guess, Either way they're WRONG! This stuff gives me constant entertainment considering I spend half my life buried in the paperwork required to do these type exports.

    I have sent the seller a message to point out the error of his ways, it will be interesting to see how this one progresses. I hope ebay's greed does not make life even more difficult for those of us who play by the rules...
