    Argentine M1909 Sniper

    Acquired this rifle some time ago (had to buy it, no matter if it matches to my collection or not), thought you might like to see it.

    It's fully matching numbers, even the stock (no, it has not been sanded). Still the great looking hardning blue on the screws everywhere aswell. Please also note the early Argentineicon low turret mounting blocks.

    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.

    Promo, that ummm...fibrous matting behind your rifle makes it look like a 1:32nd scale model of a rifle! Really, really weird effect.

    Once past the visual effects, it looks like a nice rifle. Especially hard to find matching!
