    Products other people treated with it. For a while it was the go-to for fuel tank coatings. Never saw any of those successful!

    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 ...

    I'm not sure what was on my 2A1 when I go it, but it was peeling off and leaving bare metal beneath it. This is the only gun i have ever had bead blasted and then reblued (I know, it wiped out the collector value) since I couldn't save any of the finish. The rifle turned out beautifully and since my 1917 No 1 Mk III is all matching and I don't want to shoot it, I now have a similar rifle that shoots 7.62x51 that I will be able to shoot for many years to come.
