    Some Advice Please

    Could some of you members who are much more qualified than me please look at Gunbroker item 129755536. I just don't feel comfortable with it and I don't know enough to judge.


    Thanks, Bill Hughes

    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 ...

    Pasted the link for you. In photo 15 I see what looks to me like shadow from a type 2 or 3 barrel band on the wood.

    Picture 10 shows the left end of the mag catch. Aside from the oil hole, the mag catch shows a gap behind it that should not be there. The mag catch is a later modified type, so regardless of the marking, it is NOT correct. Assuming the marking is an IP marking, the mag catch would be a fake.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Thanks to all

    I appreciate your responses to my query. I can see the shadow for the type 2 or 3 band. The seller said that it has not been changed. But what really made me leery is that the seller is about 30 miles from me (same state) I suggested that if I won I would like to pick it up in person rather that have it mailed. The seller said that he could save me money by mailing and that if I picked it up I would have to pay taxes. But not if mailed! If he is charging taxes he must be a dealer and must collect taxes even if mailed in the state! Bill
