    Celebrating "Traitors' Day"

    Yesterday, I had fun celebrating my Rights & Freedoms and enjoyed a couple of 'project' rifles.

    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 ...

    The Model 1896 Kragicon restoration was the marriage of a barreled-action with wood from a 'cut-down' rifle. The nice 'cut-down' stock was stretched with a reproduction forearm spliced under the barrel-band.

    The Model 1899 Remington-Lee was one of the 2,001 Michigan National Guard rifles. It had been turned into a Lamp for the State's Quarter-Master General. It was missing its bolt and magazine.
    A messed up commercial Remington sporting rifle, (just above the Michigan serial number range), was the 'donor' of the bolt and two magazines.

    I think my two 'rescue rifles' turned out rather well.

    I've seen those advertised but my wood working skills aren't equal...

    It's hard to find a .30-40 cal. Remington-Lee. It is rare to find one with a 'non-cracked' stock.

    (If finances allow down the road, I may donate the Remington-Lee with some family items, to the Michigan Historical Museum, in Lansing).
