    Transferrable Vickers MkI for sale

    A little beyond my purchasing power currently but an opening bid of $54,000.00 will put you in the running to purchase a live, transferrable Vickers Medium MG. Looks like lots of accessories including something I've not seen before, an illuminated Aiming Lamp, MG., MkIII which was used to provide traversing reference points when firing at night.

    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.

    I would have thought you'd have seen those at least in passing. We used them on the 81mm mortar and the C6 in the sustained fire roles. The Arty used them on the 105mm as well. They work just fine.

    We seldom fired the C6 or M2 dismounted from our M113A2 DAREOD, which is something we didn't get to do often enough, especially after Chilliwack closed. The last time we had the C6 out we had to go to Ft. Lewis.
