    A Colt you won't find in most collections:

    Because it's kinda large!







    Jig boring mill- or a pretty fancy "drill press" sometimes! Not a bad machine.

    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 ...

    I wish I had that much room! I know things are going to get tight quickly in the new "hideout". Was moving metal stock and tools out of the basement this morning after work. But that danged car I swapped off for the M40 "parts" is really in the way! Once it's running, it'll be time to start moving more equipment. Don't think it's all going to fit!

    ETA: Maybe if the Sterling DVDs finally get mailed out it'll open up some space...

    That looks like a JT9D Combustion Case.
