    Lucky photo

    I was out shooting on our range on Sunday and my wife happened to catch this picture. It was my last round - you can see the brass casing ejecting to the upper right of the picture, and the en bloc ejecting just if front of and above my head.





    Still looking for M1icon Garand 2860035

    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 ...

    Lynn was taking pictures while she was waiting her turn - we had another fiend there who had never shot a rifle before. Lynn and JoAnne shot an M1icon Carbine, an Enfield No1 Mk5, the Garand and a Mosin Nagant M91/30 PU Sniper.

    JoAnne hit 3 for 3 first round target hits on exploding tannerite targets.
