    Brand New Garand

    Three days ago I was at a friends house and he opens his gun case an hands me his great grandfathers M1icon. I pulled the bolt back and it still there wasn't a scuff or scratch on the bolt face. He said his great grandfather left it to him and had told him it had never been fired. He has never fired it himself. Told hold one that is that old and in that shape was awesome.

    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 ...

    Pictures, manufacturer, serial number (I know people get paranoid, so get the number with say 100), and more photos (I said that already).

    Yes I agree! Something that unique needs to have some pictures of it posted!
