    Could be either. PM sent.

    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.

    Well guys and gals Ebay has kicked my auctions off for the fact these are assult rifle parts. I had nothing to do with it, it was out of my hands. They told me I could relist but the scope and transit chest would in other words have to be for a rifle unto this ones nature!'

    People I have no idea what I HAVE (in value) and am in no way trying to get over on anyone. I had some people from here meassage me privately and make offers, thats the only reason I posted for sale locally. I could have easily threw it away in a pawn shop. But some kind hearted folks here told me what I had, so giving you people/persons the opertunity to add this piece of history to your collection because it means nothing to me! Now I have no idea how to make this easy.

    I have no idea how to offer this to the rest of the world for sale and being able to ship it over sea's. I would have probably put it in a box and tried to UPS it.

    Would it be right of me to post it here forsale by accepting open offers (as post your offer over $3000 )and in 48 hours the highest offer gets the scope! Is that legal for me to do here?

    This scope was in the transit box a few decades back and found in a barn on a farm in Pg county that was bought by a developer and was being turned into a neighbor hood. A certian person was a demolition and excavation contrator, rumaged through the barn before bulldozing it and found this. The scope has been inside his home and transit case in his barns loft. I recieved the scope with limited knowledge and was told to do as I pleased with it, he told me the box was up in his barn and could have it if the animals and bugs didn't destroy it.
    I come to this site for info and offer it up to the Vintage arms community. Please somebody tell me if I can do as I mentioned in a earlier paragraph about selling it here on a offer bases!

    Again this is the scope, the rifle mount, leather optic cover with strap and the metal case. I also have the transit chest in what I would say very good shape!

    Someone probably put in a false "complaint" (I won't speculate as to why!) and the ignorant twits at eBay rushed to withdraw your "assault rifle parts", as they love messing firearms people around if they can and wouldn't know an assault rifle from a BB gun if their lives depended on it.

    Anyway, if you want to relist it, just do so with a big red notice in the description that your scope is not an "assault rifle part" and complies with "eBay listing policies". That usually shuts them up.

    I think surpmil has hit the nail right on the head. I felt that there was the air of a dutch auction going on between this site and that auction site. What you have is highly desirable and will sell easily.

    I would imagine that a hundred or so No32/L1A1 sights have been sold on ebay without let or hinderance and just sailed through the process. That this one failed is telling. Additionally, don't egg the story either. It's a relatively modern(?) L42 rifle scope and chest that hasn't been in the US that long relatively speaking so those that do know these things might be suspect. Just tell it as it is............

    Take a tip Dutch and accept the withdrawal with good grace and let an ebayer who has experience with the auction site write the carefully worded description for both articles for you.

    Don't be parochial either. If someone wants the chest in another country, then tell him to arrange shipping via UPS/TNT etc etc. It works. I've just done it, not 3 weeks ago for an L96 chest that went to Oz

    According to OUR Quartermaster Stores arena, his auction here was ended early and the item was sold. Hasty fellow!

    His scope, his right to do what he wants how he wants, but I do not like the way he handled this whole thing.

    Two thumbs down in my book --
