Two Years in a Row

October is the month for the displays at the WAC (Washington Arms Collectors) show.
The objective is original items and informative to our members. This year included added items. Second scoped carbine, charts, Carbine with launcher attached, broken down carbine, some smaller items and more labeling.
I was not able to attend because of health reasons. These pictures show the Super effort from my friend Tom Godwin. What to change for the trifecta next year?????

Hope you enjoy them.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Beautiful!

On the table there are four commercial carbines, what make if the shiny one (second from the right)?

**USGI** · 12-03-2018 12:27 AM

I think that one and the one to it's right are GI Carbines showing what was typically done by new owners back in the day. It looks like the signs in front of them say, "Making it Shine" and "Sporterizing." - Bob

Fantastic display there. Worthy of the First Place.

It sure covers a lot of ground and answers a lot of questions
regarding development and changes in the carbines and accessories history.

Thanks

As expected..
Just a Beautiful Informative Historical Display.
Would be very hard to pick my favorite featured item.
I never knew the Carbine could launch a grenade out to 150 yards.
Congratulations to you Jim and your friend Tom.
Both your efforts are Greatly Appreciated.

Mission Complete......... Get To The Chopper !!
