    You heard that right..a .22 '1918 BAR'.

    Ok, not strictly a milsurp, but every so often a firearm comes your way that has absolutely no practical application other than it looks neat and is sort of fun to show off. Here is an example..a totally custom made .22 '1918 BAR'.
    Built on a Marlin 795, its made from real and fabricated parts. Mag is a dummy, of course, a BAR mag body.
    This sucker is the same size and pretty close to the weight of one. I don't know what in the world I'll do with it. Shoot it and have fun, I guess! Thought you guys might like to see 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.

    Don't know if he'll be making any more...I think he had a bit of a 'mad scientist' moment.

    That is awesome. I'd love to see the looks on the faces of the guys at the .22 shoot I go to when that got pulled out.
