    THE WORLDS BEST Fal COLLECTION!!

    Hi all,

    Some very rare US trails T48 fals in store, must be worth a fortune!

    All the weapons are apparently in store at Marine Corps Base Quantico and the pics were taken December 12 2008.

    Follow the link: T48 rifles of these United States of America - The FAL Files

    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.

    See now, that's a gun room. Except it would need a kitchen in it. Most guys would live in there.

    Sad that Pat is no longer with us .

    As a slight aside, I was in an armoury in the UKicon a few weeks back that had two new, unfired Aussie issue AD serialled L1A1's in it.....

    Peter

    It is a private international arms dealer

    Never thought to check proof marks, I was too busy dribbling on the guns .

    There were also stacks of Thompson SMG's, crates of AK47's, lots of pistols, a Gimpy that looked brand new and loads more

    Maybe I should try to join them. But I suppose that my limited technical knowledge and experience, I'd be kicked out too.
