    Reminds me of a Tom Hanks quote.

    "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it."

    The way I see it same thinking here. Good carbines are hard to find, if it wasn't everyone would have one.

    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.

    If they are made close to the originals, Quality wise, and have good fit and finish then it could be a good start for people new to carbines. What other choices do they have? Auto Ord/Khar???? older Universals etc??? GI [ good, rebuilt, faked, beat to death or molested ] ? GK

    Its almost an honor to the Carbine that people try to emulate it. Though I am not a collector, I have had three "original" carbines since 1980. First was an unmolested Winchester with Type I band and sight, high wood stock in 1982ish. I didn't know better and traded it to get one with the "cool' adjustable rear sight and bayonet lug. Next was an original, as issued 1943 Inland 95% finish that I sold about a year and a half ago to raise money when I was underemployed. The funny thing was, I took half the money to get a "shooter" mixmaster, and ended up with my third original, a transitional Winchester with Type II band and sights. I am not a collector, though, and at this point in my life really did want a "shooter" to pass on to my kids. The Winchester found a home with a collector, and I took half that money and found my 6 digit Inland post war rebuild (probably a 60s DCM/NRA weapon) that is a true shooter with an Underwood barrel with an ME of "0", upgrades and highwood stock. If I shoot the heck out of it (which I do), it doesn't matter if something needs replaced. All is good.

    Im going to buy one, why not, im still going to buy another one like a 43 or 44 anyway, but it would be nice to have when my Nephews comes down to stay with us and just let them shoot it, but that will be after i put a couple of hundreds rounds througn it first. .

    Three New One's for me.

    This year I've had help building 3 New shooters.
    Rockola
    Fulton
    SA all new mix of Original Parts & New Receivers.
    All have different looks. YES NO it was't CHEAP.
    Its a nice feeling to have to choose which 1 to shoot.

    As mentioned earlier, you can find an original for the same or less money. I don't see these going up in value, where as the GI carbines have been doubling in value about every eight to ten years. Choices, choices, choices.

    If a person wanted a shooter, Plainfield and Iver Johnsons are fairly cheap, lots of GI parts, 100% interchangeability, and are really decent shooters. Kahr/Auto Ordnance on the other hand cost more than a GI and have their issues, not to mention they are not 100% interchangeable for replacement parts. The cost they want for these new carbines is even more than Auto Ordnance. For that kind of money, you could get a REALLY nice USGI one.

    Your Right about that, my 78 Iver Johnson , the one my father bought me in 78 is still a great shooter, ofcourse its been rehauled a couple of times , but it still shoots great.
