interesting story after a funeral

**duke266** · 08-15-2009 01:25 PM

I was at a funeral last week and the honor guard used their M1 icon

's for the salute. After the service I was talking to one of the guys and asked to look at his rifle. It was an HRA and was exactly 300 earlier than a safe queen I have! I could not believe it. Unfortunately, I can never get my hands on that rifle as it would be the closest I have to being "consecutive". It had a WRA bolt but from what I could see without my eyes, everything else externally was HRA marked, stock DAS correct and an LMR barrel. I keep searching!

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.

I also am always on the lookout for consecutive numbers - - - my closest is 55 #'s apart - First one I got as my Lottery M1D back in 1999 - - - the next one was on gunbroker as a CMP icon

Rack Grade in 2007.
