    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.

    The scoped '09 Argentineicon arrived at my FFL today and I got a chance to look at it before it went into his safe for the 10 day "cooling off" period.

    In great condition, very nice bolt turn down and stock cut out for the bolt handle, Bore is sharp and shiny, bluing is excellent. Everything matches down to the cleaning rod.

    I hate to say it, but it looks like someone took an "unissued" 09 Argentine and drilled and tapped it.

    Better pics when it gets out of jail.

    I picked up my new Argentineicon drilled an tapped rifle the other day from my FFL. It is in outstanding condition...both wood and metal and the bore is also outstanding.

    I finally got a scope mounted on my Argentineicon Mauser. I ended up needing some higher rings for the scope that I mounted.

    I'm hoping to get to the range next week and shoot it.

    I got to the range today and shot a few handloads through the scoped Argy...

    174 gr .311 SMK's @ 100 yards...5 rounds with varying loads of 4320





    It looks like this one will keep up with the Persian.

    I shot the Argentineicon at the vintage military rifle silhouette match for the first time last Saturday. It did OK--31/40. I need to shoot it a little more and possibly refine the load.
