    Lunch Bucket Special

    here is a true lunch bucket special, gun was made by Saginaw worker and obvious take home of unmarked or unproofed parts --- note no hardness test of receiver, extra shims made for either barrel or receiver milling errors, note the cross threaded gas cylinder, note the super Q-RMC stock -it all adds up to what would have been easy to take home. ironically had IP firing pin, U bolt, and couple other oddities-some of these parts were transferred to Saginaw. It was cool gun. Picasa Web Albums - Carbine - lunch bucket ...

    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 ...

    What sets this carbine apart from one that has had the name and serial number ground off is the lack of proofs on the receiver and bolt.

    no P on barrel

    barrel was not proofed either--I totally missed the bolt not being punchmarked--you got the "eye" Brian!

    Do you think it's possible that whoever took the parts did a half hearted job of grinding off the serial number and maker to hide the evidence of a missing receiver?
