    Question Mystery Magazine found on mesa

    Was out hiking miles from anywhere and came across this magazine lying in the Sagebrush sea (NW WY).

    Posting here because it looks Sovieticon to me.











    A 30-40 Kragicon almost fits in but I have no 7.62x54 to try in it.

    Wonder what it is and how it got there ? A leftover from RED DAWN ?

    thanks, Larry

    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.

    Considering the amount of sand and crud on/in it, I can only guess it was dropped from a CIA black helo using Sovieticon Block weapons OR maybe Holder lost it during Fast & Furious.

    Any value to it ?

    Hum, CIA, Fast & Furious? Somehow I can foretell some political interjection on this. Let's please don't fellas. Besides, it was probably dropped from....ah, never mind

    Look familiar?

    Value would depend on condition. Anywhere from $20 to $40.
