My 1st M1 - 5.4 million "Greek" (with pics)

That's USGI park; the Greek is nearly jet black & wears easily. The mtal appears perfect; the stock is in well-above average fro a Greek return. You have a very nice rifle!

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'm very pleased to have gotten a Greek return with both the USGI park and a walnut stock.

My (5) M1 icon

books and various tools and goodies arrived in the mail from Fulton Armory yesterday. Can't wait to sit down and start reading.

I think it's a long M14 icon

Picked up an M1942 bayonet at the gun show a few weeks back. It's a cut-down 1943 American Fork & Hoe, also stamped AFH for the modification.

I always told myself I wanted an M1 icon

bayonet and not a cut down 16"...but whoever did the work on this one did a beautiful job. The blade was so nice that I just had to get it instead of the crappier condition M1 that was the same price on the seller's table.

I know it's too early for my '54 Garand, but I like it!

Yesterday I also found a full 192 round Lake City ammo can in enbloc clips and bandoliers dated Jan. 1967. (9 months before I hit the scene!)

I bought the repo sling from CTD. (and yes, I've got it turned around the right way now!)

I think you are right about the letters on the stock are part of a name. I don't recall any Greek Word "PAPADO". Anyway it is a good looking rifle.

I picked up a Collector Grade Greek return about 4 years ago. I would have to say it is 90-95 % new. Very little use, I guess my "cousins" over there took good care of some of our rifles!

Best Regards, Nikos
