My Dec. 1941 Garand

**Joe W** · 03-05-2009 10:38 PM

Had posted these pictures on the CMP icon

site and decided to post here. I bought this rifle in 1991. It is either original or pretty much so or a very good restoration. All parts are correct and match well. All parts show very little use and rifle is not British icon

proofed. I have bought and sold many M1s over the past 30 plus years but this one was a keeper.

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.

What a pleasure to sit down with a nice cup of coffee in the morning before going to work and see such a beautiful rifle. That you for taking the time to put up these pictures. Sincerely. Bruce.

Tom, This is the only picture I had in photobucket of the Gas Cylinder. One other shot that shows whole rifle. As you can see, the Gas cylinder finish is somewhat thin which is pretty much the norm for this period.

**Tom Doniphon** · 03-06-2009 04:42 PM

Joe, thanks for the photos of the gas cylinder.

Yes, many gas cylinders on the early guns lost their finish. This was particularly a problem with the Molyblack coating used on them.

What do you see that leads you to suspect it? It looks fine to me. I don't see any of the discrepancies seen on most of the fakes
