Geez... This guy just wont stop. Looks like he went crazy with the "wire wheel aging."

I just checked GB and there is no mechanism to report something of this nature. Only if one were to by this and then file a complaint. But nothing to pre-emptively warn or bring to light these obvious back-yard manufactured rifles.

For those who dare, check out his arisaka paratrooper repro...

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.

Everything is wrong with it. Even a novice would see the mistakes and raise questions.

Is that a numrich repro scope on there?

**Gil Boyd** · 10-13-2022 10:57 AM

Jim,
You would be surprised!

**smle addict** · 10-13-2022 11:14 AM

Yup, Numrich repro scope and a ruined Savage No4.

Well, I'd just stay away from big buck guns nowdays. Too many fakes for me to take a bath.

**EnfieldC** · 10-13-2022 10:11 PM

I got lucky and picked up my no4T no scope because the description was “maybe sniper?” So I got it sub 1k on auction only to find it soaked in cosmo with all the correct markings and parts. I think a lot of these fakes are a little too perfect in having every detail but poorly done I might add

**CINDERS** · 10-14-2022 12:43 AM

This would have you armourers out there doing back flips seriously that has sooo much wrong with it the seller obviously has no scruples in duping ppl of their dollars.
I know we try to save ppl from buying these abominations but in the end it is buyer beware, I just cannot believe he has no law suits against him for clearly selling an article that is not bona fide original.
I hope no one out there gets sucked in by this fella and parts with their $'s for this well ugly duckling, we can only wish eventually fair trading will cotton on to his ruses and punish them to the max damn charlatans.

Some lovely 1944 era Laser Engraving on that scope

Next time he should rub the lenses with some grains of sand for that true North African look!
