    I'm Baaaack. O3-A3

    Been out of commission since Nov. 22 Congestive heart failure. Jan 4th triple bypass, mitral valve repair and a big zipper on my chest. Feeling stronger everyday and snagged my first milsurp of the new year. It is a Remington 3711910 with a RA 4-43 four groove barrel that gleams. It has a beautiful walnut straight stock. I mean..no dings dents or scratches! The ordnance wheel, RA and [F.J.A.] are strong and there is the [OG] re-arsenal cartouche on left side butt stock. All parts are R marked. The bolt..all R marked has been parked and has a 3 on top of bolt handle root. I probably paid too much for it..$725 but it is such a nice example of a re-arsenal that never went to Greece that I could not resist. When the snow melts on the deck I will take some pics. I want to wish everyone on these forums good health in the New Year.

    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.

    Sounds like you had a total rebuild. Hope you had health insurance! I also hope you are OK.

    Post a few pictures of that puppy.
