    Anyone know how they get that green color on EVERY carbine they offer?

    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 ...

    My guess is either a lighting issue or misadjusted camera...

    That'd be my thought.

    Doctored pictures... very possible but it would seem after reading all the feedback that someone would comment on where did the patina go?
    I have a link here for you about tint, that also happens to be about this same seller.
    You'll see a can of tint we use for tweaking paint and stain colors.
    Many different methods used to apply, Air brushing being the easiest if thinned correctly.
    Many more tips I'd rather not get in to.

    FWIW,
    Charlie
