    Another T in a box,

    I've never seen a T with a bipod, and carry handle, pretty neat. Where along the forend does the bipod mount, and does anyone here have a better image of the loop part and how it works? I'm not going to copy it, I did the bipod thing in the past and just interested in how they did it.

    and then there's this one too, its a busy week at GB, it has a really odd cheek piece, a dowel end perhaps like a parker hale target rifle on the right side above the trigger, (what do you think it is, just a stain or really a dowel?) and then I'm dead curious about the meaning off the FR on the butt stock?. I'm guessing it quite a crock of crappola that the FR is why the S51 is missing, and to top it all of there's that hand chiseled with a screwdriver corner A suffix number most odd, A37431

    The similarity is whacking great prices on some , and quite a bit of fantasy in those descriptions too.

    BTW Hi Peter, I sent you a pm yesterday, it may have gone under the radar . cheers

    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.

    So, now we all know what the letter "T" stands for.

    I can't see enough of the rifle to comment on it but the carrying handle and bipod look like they may be part of the "simulate a Bren Gun" kit. Anyone care to comment on their value on their own?

    I have previously emailed the seller regarding the bipod and carrying handle. They are idenical to the "Bren simulation" set up in Mr. Skennertonicon's book. Funnily, enough, no one replied to my message, and no comments were put on the auction, Funny, innit?
