What is your most unusual Milsurp?

If by unusual you mean rare or uncommon...

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.

Makes sense... wouldn't want you to rob a liquor store with it. Everyone knows 90 pound crew-served weapons make you turn psychotic and become a gun toting meth dealer...

On a brighter note. It's a beautiful piece! What is it? Izhevsk? Ex-tank mounted example? Finn marked?

Do reproductions count? If so, then this one is my most unique rifle.

**Stevo** · 12-07-2006 02:16 AM

I'd say that counts.

After all, a repro's all that us peons can own of that rifle.

My own taste runs to the 19th Century, and while my various Snider-Enfield and Martini-Henry rifles and such might not be collected by the majority frequenting this forum, they cannot really be said to be uncommon or "unusual".

On the other hand, I think this recent acquisition qualifies - one of 5000 .50-60 rimfire Peabody rifles acquired by Canada icon

in 1866 to meet the threat of invasion by Irish Republican Army (the original IRA) of the Fenian Brotherhood in the United States icon

. The "CM" stamp on the buttstock denotes "Canada Militia" - and this was the Province of Canada, don't forget (i.e Crown Colony consisting of Upper and Lower Canada) ... not the Dominion of Canada!

Its actually Eygptian...The Israelis took it away from them in the 6 day war (1973?)
