    Is it just me, or is this faked?

    Poor photos just of critical areas. Check the cartouches...

    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 wouldn't take that piece of junk if he gave it to me! Pitted, reparked, sanded stock, fake markings, fake flip sight, etc....

    When I saw a heavily sanded stock with new cartouches, that was my first clue. Some sharp pictures of unimportant areas, with horrible out of focus pictures of the critical areas was my second clue!

    You can get ripped off on these things, but not just on Gun Broker. I just lost over 400 on a rebuilt carbine from DGR. I paid shipping to me, paid my FFL fee, paid shipping back and got assessed a 20% restocking fee on something that was misrepresented in the first place. Be very careful!!!!
