    M1 Raffle I Won.

    Springfield receiver and all new WWII internal parts. New SA 1-55 barrel.
    Stock and sling are the only replacement items. DCM hard case.
    Garandicon manual, 10 enbloc clips, and a new sling.

    I zeroed it in at 100 and pounded a 6 inch steel.
    Then my talent ran out.
    Best spent $20

    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.

    Awesome! I enter those raffles every time I see them. You give me hope!
    What organization was the raffle for? M1icon for Vets or anything like that?

    Marine Corps League. They do charity work.
    Instead of the rifle I could have taken $500.

    I won a M1icon from the Marine League in Toledo in the ninety's. My friend at SMSC "forced" me to buy a ticket, but it turned out just fine!
    I think you got the prettier one though.

    I haven't won anything in a raffle yet. But I am waiting for this December to see if I do!
