What do you think, butt plate was rusty and has an RMC handguard, a matter I'm still working on. Cheers all, and Happy Christmas in case I'm not back for a couple of weeks. Mike.

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.

I don't know where mike explores, but I wish he'd take me on his next trip!

Hey Mike - didn't the U.S. just loan all those great carbines to y'all? Don't you feel guilty? I bet you'd feel a lot better if you sent a few of them back here. Just send them to me and I promise I'll find a really good home for them.

LOVE your collection, Mike. Keep sending the photos.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too, buddy!
(Some zealots in the states are trying to make it 'Non-PC' to say Merry Christmas anymore, but I'm taking it to my grave)

If Charlie is back, I'll keep posting. Just a joke. These are the last pics on the I.P thread from me. I am hunting through my stuff to find the ones of good STD and IP Butt plates. Hard to find as most WW2 Carbines down my way spent a lot of time with that part wet. Talked to Wtmr one day about finding that part of original stocks with black stains on them Would be keen to hear more about that. Great to share info on a place like this, it doesn't matter how many Carbines you have, or havn't got !. Mike.
