    Just got my first Garand from CMP(low serial #)

    Just joined the site and wanted to show my first Garands I have owned. Was very pleased to see a low serial number in the 2xx,xxx's. All shoot well. Glad I got my oder in before they quit accepting them this go round.

    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 ...

    2 more Garands. Both springfields with a 1,77x,xxx and a 3,3xx,xxx numbers. Look about like the other one. However one did have some small pieces of wood with white tape on them saying it was cleaned on certian dates along with U.S.iconM.C. shoved in the cleaning rod holes. This one has a Rock Island refurb mark on the stock and one of the others had a R.R.I stanped on it.
