    $10 pawnshop find questions

    Is it authentic? Repro? Didn’t come with front sight, does the factory one work with this sight? Will the taller Grünal front sight work? How do you set it up? What model sight is it?

    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 ...

    Here are 3 edited pictures from post 1, if they are any help.

    It looks like it's reasonably well made, judging from the pictures.

    That must be "Bargain of the week". Over here you could stick a zero on the $22 and it would be a good price!

    Google "W&F Diopter für K31icon" (note Germanicon spelling, to get info from German language sites)

    and prepare to be shocked!

    Possibly the pawn shop got it in a house clearance or a storage auction and thought that it had no real value. I bet that they are kicking themselves now if they happen to have seen this thread.
