French 49/56 at Hamburg Cabelas

**Aragorn243** · 12-22-2013 12:38 PM

Thought I would let those that live close enough know that when I stopped in at Cabelas last evening, they have a French icon

49/56 for sale again nearly identical to the one I purchased a month or so ago. This one does not have the rubber butt pad but is priced the same at $399. I'd call to verify it is still there before making the trip

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.

Bit far for me, but it's tempting.

7.5mm or 7.62?

**Aragorn243** · 12-23-2013 03:39 PM

Original French icon

7.5

**jonnyc** · 12-23-2013 06:34 PM

Tempting, but I'm really torn on these.
7.5mm - More authentic, more reliable, but tough to find enough decent ammo.
7.62mm - Easy feeding, but the CAI monkeys that converted them usually/often did a poor job and the really suffer in the reliability dept.

**Aragorn243** · 12-23-2013 07:32 PM

I have not heard any good news about the CAI conversions. It can be done but it may take some further gunsmithing to get it right. I was fortunate enough to get a couple hundred rounds with my MAS 36.
