    Unhappy You know who at it again?

    From the CMPicon Carbine forum. Supposedly an orignal unfired WInchester rare cut a away for $6,000. Looks a little too fresh and new for a 68 year old cut a way to me, but I'm just a skeptic!

    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 ...

    Well, it's not like it was ever shot at the range let alone carried by a soldier. If stored properly, why shouldn't it look like new?

    There should be a special place in hell for anybody who would take a virtually unfired carbine and carve it up into something it's not for profit.

    When looking at a zoom level of 400%...
    You can see it's marked RMC in the slingwell.
    There are markings on top of the barrel just in front of the barrel band.
    You'll see how coarse the barrels finish is by the band and gets smoother towards the frt sight.
    The left side of the flip sight has a W stamped on it.

    FWIW,
    Charlie
