    A cry for help shipping some books from the US to the UK

    I wonder if there is a friendly member on the other side of the pond that would help with the shipping of 2 books to the UKicon?
    They are listed on ebay, but the seller will only ship to the US. He will send to someone who's happy to forward to me.
    I'll happily cover all costs associated with helping me out
    Thanks in advance!

    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 ...

    Contact Brian Dickicon perhaps?

    The last time I tried to go across the pond for books the publisher shipped twice and neither arrived. Obviously someone in the pipeline likes book!

    I'm in Nevada and know how to get to a post office. I can do anything you ask. But I'll be gone for most of the next month, back in Arizona for a big lever-action shooting match, and then off to Florida for vacation and more CMPicon shooting matches. I'll be back home mid November for a few days before going to California for 1000-yd CMP matches. I could do any international shipping during those days I'm back home.
