Lost one of my nicest carbines

**Bill Hollinger** · 03-31-2012 09:37 PM

Well, I lost a really nice Inland carbine today. But, it went to a great cause. My daughter Ashley turned 14 February 6th and she got my Inland. She is very happy!

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.

Happy Birthday! You didn't lose the Inland, it's still in the family. Good excuse to buy a replacement!

Thanks to everyone. She is a good girl and I am very proud of her.

Yeah Jim, her birthday was almost two months ago. That's what divorce and custody issues will do.

Bill,
If she's anything like my daughter Hilary, I suggest you start re-loading. Funny how they love to just shoot and shoot and shoot, but when cleaning time comes they find something else that's pending right away. I usually go with 15-20 loaded 15rd mags, then have her shoot off 4-5 30rd mags for the Grand Finale !
Hilary usually ends up with 2-3 pieces of hot brass down her shirt with the blisters to proove it.
I know you'll keep Ashley safe so enjoy your time together, they grow up too fast.
Congrats to both you and her.

P.S. Notice her left hand grip on this QHMC, she found out just how warm a barrel gets.
Just wait till Ashley tries out your 1911.....

P.S.S. Ashley, Are you ready to sell ??

Regards,
Charlie-painter777

Bill,
You should have Ashley tell us about her carbine.
Listing serial range, barrel date, part types, markings .. etc.

Hey,
At 16 does she get a Willys??

Again Congrats
CH
