    $3.5 million, thoughts

    Not sure if this was ever discussed, but it pops up once in a while so I thought it would be an entertaining topic

    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 ...

    Is that even a real listing? Maybe a scam listing with photo's taken from a show somewhere?

    I see eight racks with maybe ten carbines per rack (80). And a middle section to show some special items. Yeah sniper scope, I have one too, no big deal. Lets say ten more on the table, and ten special items. If the carbines and special items added up to one hundred, at that asking price it would come out to $35,000 per. I couldn't see it even if they were all presentation guns in mint condition with documentation.

    You would think for $3,500,000 they would have a nicer sign too.

    This has to be someone playing around.

    If I had that kind of money, I'd never sew it up in that sort of thing.

    Marketing makes it happen!

    Also appropriate from the car sales business: "There's an a$$ for every seat". That looks like a good deal if it included about $3M worth of gold coins in a cool chest.
