    Reminds me........ I was at a meeting the other night at an explanation of something where the entered apprentices of the time were paid in what is termed 'species' (money/coin) Alas, when told, the teller explained that the apprentices were paid in '....faeces' .

    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. Brian Dick ...

    I couldn't believe this rifle was at $500, that's why I put it on my watch list. I did not expect this inconceivable finish. Makes you wonder if the other guy bidding who didn't get it is laughing or lamenting? Ugly park job to boot.
    Wa happen'd?
    Cheers

    Might as well have gone the whole distance and "suncorited" it.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
