    Neat trick for shipping Carbines, Garand

    I have shipped or been shipped a few Carbines or Garands where the handle of the slide/op rod was sticking through the cardboard box. A quick fix for this is to cut off the top inch or so of a plastic water or soda bottle (the part the cap screws onto) and place that over the handle. Cut it so it's flush with the top of the handle and no more sticking through the cardboard! You just have to secure it so it doesn't fall off.

    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).

    Do the pro's (CMPicon) use just a bigger box, or do they disassemble the carbine partially? I've never received a long-gun through the mail...
