    My 1st C&R purchase

    I just received my 1891/30 Hex receiver Mosin Nagant. Dated 1935 from Tula. There is also a Ukrainian refurb stamp on the stock. I can't believe the condition of this rifle, from the bore to the wood it's outstanding. I can't wait to clean it up and put some rounds down range.

    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.

    It will not be the last.

    I made my first C&R purchase on 2/13/10 and now I have 27 logged in my bound book. Most of them are mosin nagant's. They are beautiful, cheap to buy and shoot and have a whole lot of history in each one.

    It's the lighting, you guy's were right. Since that 1st purchase I have added another Mosin, a Carcano, a Mauser, and a Nagant revolver.
