Warning - Fake No.32 MkIII on eBay

**madcratebuilder** · 06-09-2010 09:40 AM

I put a 'holding' bid on that fake No32. I was just offered a second chance offer at that bid price, under 1K. He must have several of them. If it was under $500 I may be temped.

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.

Five-ish would be OK IF we knew they were servicable, AND they just came clean and sold them like honest folk....

mine should be here any day now so when it comes ill pull it apart(not fully) and compare the bits with my original MK1 No32 which was rebuilt here in OZZIE land by field instruments .. and then ill post a new thread comparing the two side by side

They're certainly not being open and honest. There's another on there currently and I reckon, given they've been made recently (as no one's seen them before) they know EXACTLY what they are. It's like my experiences of buying 4ts from a dealer - usually whenever I asked about things when one was offered they claimed to not know much about them, so exonerating themselves from being accused of mis-selling something. It's a classic dodgy trading ploy. 'I know nothing' (in a Belgian accent)

Prinz Eugen, if you are still looking for a 4T & don't mind an honest mis-match with a Mk1 or 2 scope then feel free to drop me a line....

I do agree that if they were sold as a copy with price to match, they would sell lots of them

**lee_enfield223** · 06-18-2010 01:14 AM

that seller who has a few of them is really slow to post them,,as I sent him the funds through paypal over two weeks ago and he still hasn't posted the No32 scope yet !!! anyway he said he's posting it on sat the 19th he better !!!! as if I don't get the tracking number by the 20th i will contact paypal for a refund !!! this should get things moving with luck....

You might find he didn't make until he had you money and was assured of an order, sorry to be suspicious but there's few good enough reasons to be that slow to send items, bad health and drop shipping might be the only legitimate ones.

Any news on that "No32" scope yet?
I'd be interested to see if they are total fabrications, or if they are made up from bits in a No32 stylee on one of those artilery piece sighting scopes.

Harry, they're new builds, probably from the Far East. I've seen a couple of them now in the flesh at the Ciney show in Belgium icon
