    We had a thing about folding stocks. They NEVER improve with age!

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

But everyone blasted the look -- condemning it to the dungeon of non-conformance. Either I'm a dinosaur, or a large chunk of the rest of the world embraces the Prince of Darkness.

    Folding stocks often look neat, but are miserable for marksmanship.

    Only exception might be the CZ Skorpion, that actually steps things up from an overgrown pistol, to a very short but more accurate carbine.

    I must be non conformist dinosaur as I have an AR15 with wooden stock and grip. But then again, as a stock maker, could I honestly have anything else?

    I first saw wood furniture for AR15s back in the late '80s. Triangular handguards and no finger rest pistol grip, IIRC.

    As far as the lever gun with the mad attachments, I actually like the adjustable length of pull buttstock from a practical hunting standpoint even if it IS way ugly! As for the fore end rails, not liking so much!

    The Kudzu Kommando L-E stock doesn't seem to help much of anything, user-wise. Could fatten the manufacturer's wallet a bit.

    I was going to copy it for a friend. He really liked it. He passed away unexpectedly last week.

    Sorry to hear that, I actually watched the film and recognised it from your advert.
