    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 ...

    How will it compare size-wise to Cornwall and Perth?

    A 9:30 opening time is remarkably civilized.

    I've added it to the Calendar (click here).

    I notice that it conflicts with the Orangeville Gun Show, so some people will have to make choices.

    I would think it will be larger than Cornwall. I can't see that it would be as big as the Perth show...but, there will not be any crafts, clothing or new items for sale. Tables sold out. I can't see any conflict with Orangeville as they are too far apart.

    Merrickville info! Wives or girlfriends who are allowed to come along will find several hours of shopping and dining to amuse themselves. There is an inn and several B&B's for those who want to make a weekend of it.

    Show is at the Community Centre, corner of Main St. West and Read St.

    I believe several Gunnutz and MILSURPS members will have tables. John is trying to keep milsurps as the main theme, but sporting guns will be allowed. 48 tables now booked, might be a couple left due to cancellations! Firearms will be for show-only and/or sale.

    This is a small show, a LOT smaller than Perth for sure. The show organizer, to whom reference has already been made, has taken great pains to keep the flea market type stuff out of the show. He also expressed an aversion to the "jackboot types" who, it is supposed, collect Nazi memorabilia.

    I will be there with a couple tables, and my oldest son there with another table, he with "tactical" stuff and me with primarily modern hunting firearms and accessories. It does sound like the preponderance of vendors/exhibitors might be of the "historical arms" bent - including, of course, milsurps.

    It does conflict with the Orangeville show, so all the "big guys" (Ken Blue, Dave Goddard, Dave Drake, Jim Webster, Paul Cormier, etc) who do most of the Ontario shows will NOT be at Merrickville.

    Should be a good show, and I am looking forward to it.
