sling real or fake

RB did have real stuff years ago, maybe still does, if he wants to sell it. But if it is real he knows it, and it would only go for real prices. If you get a bargain price on something from him, I would be wary.

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.

Well, I've seen him sell fake type I rear sights for $160.00. Yeah, George has real stuff and I would bet it goes for way big bucks! And then, is it really real???

Just kinda takes the fun out of collecting doesn't it......

**gew8805** · 02-10-2012 10:54 AM

Not really, the fun is doing the research and acquiring items that you know - from the knowledge you've gained - are real. A little homework never hurt anyone and makes you a better collector.

But, we all get taken a few times somewhere along the way. At least I know I have. It just happens.

I've gotten taken a few times too. Helps reinforce the lessons!

Precisely. We all "get taken" occasionally, it's part of the education, just don't let it happen too often. Learn from the mistake.

Ditto on the "I've been taken...."

The last time I was "taken" on sling, the seller had a picture of an original (1960s Vietnam era sling), but sent me a cheap piece of cr@p that was a funny green with shiny metal fittings!
