    To All Canadian Members

    We have one particular dealer here in Canadaicon who with the help of a Germanicon based gunsmith, has ruined Garandicon parts and is selling dangerous rifles to the public. He has been notified of the hazardous conditions and yet still advertises them for sale.

    Check out this thread first for a laugh, then it spirals into criminal endangerment. If you know of anyone who may have purchased one of these rifles tell them to check it over thoroughly or send it back for a refund.

    Consider this a public safety issue and pass it on to any and all firearm forums.

    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.

    Too bad this got dumped in the gossip section. Hope the moderators reconsider this. It should be in the Garandicon section where it might actually do some good.

    Considering the topic is about a dealer's practice who advertises (not here) and sells on another completely different web site, and the thread posted here simply contains a link redirecting everyone to the thread posted on that site which can't even be viewed unless one registers there, this forum is most appropriate to the primary topic.

    Having said that, if you'd taken the time to check, you would have noticed that the thread appears in both forums simultaneously.

    When a thread gets moved, it leaves a permanent trailing link in the originating forum where it came from. So, it's effectively the same as making a duplicate copy of the same post in another forum, which actually gives more members the opportunity to view and interact with it, posting in the single thread resulting from the move. It's like leaving a bookmark in the current forum for reference, which everyone will see and the when clicked on, it takes them to the full thread view.

    I often use a thread move or thread copy to show content that has interesting value across multiple forum topics. If you are posting a thread that you'd like to see viewed across two forums at the same time, simply let a moderator know and they'll set up the move and flag for you.

    Regards,
    Doug

    Fair enough. Gotta stop looking at this site on my phone. Too small.

    Welding on the lugs of the bolt with no attempt to properly refinish the work is indicative of the quality of the craftsman. Making no mention of the safety issues, why wouldn't someone go to the extra length to conceal the work by refinishing the pieces, the product just looks ineptly put together.

    It looks worse than basement smithy work, even Khyber Pass items have the obvious problems concealed.

    European M1 Garands ruined by sold by Marstar Canada - CMP Forums

    To those who are not members of that forum, here is a bit more information about those rifles. It shows something that could be a problem should any barrels like these ever find their way onto the US marketplace, especially if those barrels get forced onto a receiver. The pictures and video I've seen of those bolts are VERY scary to me.

    Thank you for that link, the entire situation is quite a dangerous mess, I am passively in the market for an M1icon Garand, and am very happy I didn't bother with these ones.
