    K43 at Collector's Source

    There's a K43 now at collector's Source. Looks to be missing the action cover and the bolt carrier is supposdly mismatched. A bit expensive at $2500 or so, but you don;t see them come up very often.

    Wonder if it's a vet return or a VoPo?

    There's also some K98kicon's there now, though nothing I'd consider a prime collectable.

    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 ...

    Looks like electropencil on the mag and rear of the action, so it is probably a VoPo rework. If that manual is original, you could recoup some money from that if you didn't want it. They are worth a lot now.

    the value of g/k43's is getting very high, and it seems to only go up.
    BTW, took a look at it, seems like a vopo for sure.
