Got this from Tony at Orion7. Aint she purtty??

Till I got this I have never shot one let alone held one. I am more than blown away by this rifle. Excellent workmanship and very accurate. Such history. My uncles served in WWII and my dad Korea so this rifle is a conection to them and the history they were a part of. Thank you Tony.

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.

Tony and his folks build a very nice and accurate M1 icon

. You will enjoy shooting yours.

I most definetly did enjoy shooting her. Showed it to my dad today and he was stunned by it. He hadn't seen one since 1953. Needless to say he got a little emotional about it as I did too. He said he used to be able to tear it down and put it back together in the dark and knew the serial number to the one he was issued. That just made my year to see how my dad reacted to see it. Worth every dime I paid.

You should see if he will talk about his service with the M1 icon

-- the GCA icon

loves to publish vet stories and Korea is very overlooked. These histories deserve to be honored and preserved.

Thanks Bob. You are right. I'll ask him. That would be very cool.

Very nice M1 icon

. Sit your dad down with a tape recorder so you don't miss a thing!
