    Iola Military Show

    Hope to be making the 5 hour drive to the Iola Wisconsin military show, as I will get to see some of the collectors and re-enactors that may be interested in my work, and also might pick up some restoration work.

    I will also be looking for some U.S. Army WWI gear and stuff for my collection.

    Anyone else going to be there? Never been there, and hear it is a good show.

    It is in my "back yard", so about time I go there.

    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'll be there... I started going about 4 years ago and wouldn't miss it. I live about 35 min away so it's an easy decision. Always find something interesting there... but if you are looking for nice original military firearms there isn't usually much. There is a class 3 dealer that usually has quite a few WW2 MG's and SMG's. The focus of the show is military vehicles so parts and uniform items are the most plentiful. I don't recall seeing any WW1 gear there in the past but there is much to look at.
