    My two M1A1's

    I had to sell a rather large portion of my collection to finance these, however, after finishing the data sheets on both rifles today, it was worth the effort. I sold no US property rifles or pistols to get the job done and that's a good thing. These two late Paratroopers are in museum condition or darn near close. They both have near new bores and both gauge zero at the muzzle. SN 640.... and 643.... were both made in 11-44. They have many parts that are different but all correct which didn't surprise me as Inland was cranking out over 1000 carbines/day.

    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 ...
