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.

OK, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but how about the price on the A4 above?

Ya, 9500 bucks seems kinda steep...........I guess. I am not an expert, but that's a lot of bread!

The seller is "Common Sense Arsenal" --- Maybe "Optimistic Arms" would be more appropriate

The price is high but worse rifles have sold for as much on the CMP icon

auction site.
Personally i have some doubts about the stock and markings.
The M82, while not original, looks very nice and is correct for a 50's vintage rifle (except for the missing eye shade).

Regards,

Jim

Actually, that's what my rifle has mounted, and M-82....but I know mine was probably not original, plus........I ain't got 9500 bucks no matter how nice it may be.

And some of the CMP auction prices are ridiculous! I take that back, MOST of them are nuts!

They are only for the "Pockets of Depth".

Take the time to shop, and you'll find what you seek.

I suppose high prices are ridiculous if you are looking to buy...on the other hand if you are seller well then they are just right.

The real test is if anyone bites. If the auction closes with no takers then for sure its was too high especially in this economy.

My main point is for that price the piece better be damn near perfect. Frankly i don't think this one is.

Regards,

Jim
