    Husk, I am just relaying info. I know absolutely nothing about rifles. I am not a collector. I have a few shotguns for deer hunting. If its what you clearly say it is pop is wrong! I am not wanting to miss lead anyone,just looking to find out what I have. I have no need for it and it is for sale, I need a new boat motor and this may be the down payment. Please excuse my limited knowledge. Thank you for your info.

    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 ...

    Can I suggest that you put it on 'that' auction site. Describe it fully and accurately with a few good pictures. No need to go overboard and it'll find it's own best price that might make you happy. List it under Lee Enfield - sniper and.............

    Can I suggest that you DO NOT mention to your wife the fact that it's on that auction site because she'll be keeping an eye on it too and she'll want a good portion of the money. Good luck

    I hope those pictures help. The drum on the side turns freely and clicks, the drum on top seems sticky so I didn't try it any harder. I would be willing to take offers if I may do so. If I am out of place to ask that sorry I will retract the offer of sale here. I do deal in ebay and have nearly 400 sales and purchases all with positive feedback. I have even sold Komatsu Track loaders on ebay just to give you size of auctions. Multiple trucks and boats! Thank you guys for all your help and quick school lesson in to antique arms.

    Describe it a an 'L1A1 telescopic sight for an L42 Enfield sniper rifle in the case' I'm sure you'll be happy with the outcome. At auction it will fetch its TRUE price

    As a matter of interest, anyone out there in Forumland got rifle L 32478? It's your lucky day

    Peter thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help.

    Looking at the top of the scope there is several lines of lettering and numbers. First line is 1240-99-963-2063, second is TEL.STRT.STG.L1A1. , third is OS 2429 G.A, FORTH LOOKS SCRATCHED OUT BUT CLEARLY is TEL STG.No32MKlll, fifth line scratched also is O.S 2039 A, and sixth line is AK&S No22595 and under that is 1945

    Is the ending of the second line telling me it is L1AL SCOPE and the scratched up areas are a tell tale sign it is a reworked scope?

    Hooks, I would have made your add worldwide shipping you are missing out on a lot of people outside of the US. Specially with the US dollar at the moment it is very attractive. I know that a serious buyer would message you on Evilbay but there is still a lot of people who can't use Evilbay and miss what is available internationally. Anyway just my thoughts.
