    A Red nine, and a 1911 Commercial

    Gents,

    I picked up a new (to me) Red Nine today.

    $550, figured it wasn't a bad deal.

    Here's a series of photos of the Red nine versus a 1911 commercial that's in my collection.

    When Badger gets home, maybe we want to do up a MKLicon entry on it?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Neat old guns.

    When I was 9 years old, (1961) I traded my bicycle for one.

    To say my Daddy was ****ED would be an understatement! I got my butt wore out he took me back to the friend I'd traded and the old folks made us undo the deal.

    Both of us kids had trouble sittin' comfortable for a few days.


    I show him what they are worth nowadays and he still won't laugh about it. He's 88 and I'm 57 and he still won't forgive me for swappin' off my bike that he GAVE me.

    Nice looking brooms. Don't see many around. Looks like a good buy on the red nine, #'s match? Mines a 1916 commericial, must not have been used much, still very tight and great bore, got lucky.

    Very cool. I remember when those were not worth selling they were so cheap. Don't see many anymore though. Great score. Thanks for sharing.
