    Maybe he's just being really honest about the S.G., here's one definition of incredible:

    in·cred·i·ble
    Pronunciation: in-ˈkre-də-bəl
    Function: adjective
    Etymology: Middle English, from Latin incredibilis, from in- + credibilis credible
    Date: 15th century

    1 : too extraordinary and improbable to be believed

    East coast George? Maybe so, from what I understand, George mixes it up with real and humped parts. The higher-end the part, the more apt it is to be fake.

    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 ...

    Thumbs down

    The rear sight is fake and wrong for an SG and stake marks are visible, the band is fake, sear looks like a Winchester, the mag release stampings look fake, the butt plate is not correct, the stock stamping look suspect, the RSG on the hand guard looks suspect, bolt should be blued and is parked over the pitting, the stock, although a high wood, does not look GI to me, front sight has been off a few times,......whew, gotta take a breath! All this and the photo quality sucks, why? So you don't get a really good look at it.

    On the good side the seller offers a no questions asked money back guarantee. IMHO
