    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.

    Just picked this beauty up on the weekend....

    1909 Argentineicon Infantry Rifle
    (Mfg in 1910 by Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken, Berlin)


    "All Matching Serial Numbers (unissued rifle)"


    (Click PIC to Enlarge)

    This piece is an excellent collector's reference rifle for anyone wanting to compare for original correctness, so I'll be creating an entry in the South American section of the Milsurp Knowledge Libraryicon in the next few days....

    Regards,
    Badger

    Wow, very nice for a 97 year old rifle. All I have picked up is this sad individual and an Indian Pattern BB repro.

    Talking Feb. additions

    Attached are some lousy pics of a very fine Swedishicon Mauser M96 I picked up yesterday for $300.00 US. It is flat out mint ans 100% matching, even the cleaning rod The headspace is 0.004" over go. Last week I couldn't get up the cash to buy a different one for $495.00 in the same condition and I am very glad I didn't. It's a little expensive to buy them in this condition, but, I just plain had to have it. I can't wait to shoot it, but the snow is coming and might have to wait a bit. I'm sure it will be worth it. I can see my ugly face in the bore, so I'm hoping it shoots near as good as it looks-SDH

    you fine gentlemen put me to utter shame. Hopefully my pockets will be completely empty and my gun safe full after the April show (A.A.C.C.A) in Calgary, going this long without a purchase isnt healthy.

    Thumbs up 1910 Ross Rifle

    Just received this the other day (purchased from Jean at P&S Guns & Militaria) and managed to snap a few pictures yesterday. Full original military configuration - in fact, this one is so "unmessed-with" that it still has an "unpinned" bolt ... and thus could be reassembled incorrectly, resulting in the infamous "blowback on firing". Needless to say, I will be very careful!

    The "L S H" buttmark indicates WWI-era issue to Lord Strathcona's Horse ... which I think is a nice touch ...

    That's a great rifle, Grant. How would it have escaped the bolt mod?

    Question

    Quote Originally Posted by Stevo View Post

    I've been wondering that myself - though I suppose it must have happened with some.

    Absolutely no sign of any rivet or pinning on this one, anyway ....

    As a military collectable, I consider that a bonus. For shooting, I'll be very careful - or just use my sported M'10 with the pinned bolt - or even try the bolt from that one in this full-military rifle.

    That raises a question - am I correct in my understanding/assumption that Ross bolts are more or less interchangeable without fear of headspace problems? Seems to me that the very close tolerances of the bolthead locking lugs and the corresponding receptacles in the receiver should serve to position any boltface in essentially the same place ...

    Or am I "out to lunch" on this?
