New M1's (for me)

**sdh1911** · 01-03-2009 10:58 PM

I worked about as much OT this year as my regular hours and was able to stock up pretty well on the gun collection, but, my favorites for the year are a pair of M1 icon

's, mint, correct and well stored. The attached pis'c are of a super nice M1 Korean vintage 52 dated gun that shoots consistent 2" groups (my son shot those groups shooting from prone position). The other gun is a November 41 gun, it is mint, correct BNP marked. I will not be shooting this one until I get a correct modified op-rod. Hope the pics come out well-SDH

PS more guns to come when time allows

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.

Nice rifle

Nice rifles. Honestly, unless you shoot rifle grenades, I would not worry about hte un-modded op-rod. I shoot my unmodded rod all the time, as did YEARS of Danish icon

recruits before I got it.

Thanks fellows, The 53 shoots quite well with SA Ball The 41 (only shot once so far) likes the M2 stuff, both are my pride and joy! I got them both from a private collection in NY state.
