    South store finds

    Made a South store trip a couple of weeks ago (my second) and picked up a few nice ones. I got a Springfield "woodless" 3.4 mil with a 2-45 barrel that has a ME of .8. It has been reparked and most of the other parts were nothing special but it is a great shooter. Next I got a F.G. HRA that is a mixmaster but has the original barrel and rear sight, again a ME of .7. Last I got a rack grade IBM carbine with an original barrel and high wood stock (no cartoosh), receiver stamped AO for Auto Ord. It took me awhile to find these and one thing I noticed is that alot of the Field and rack grades had the barrels counter sunk, something to look for
    Happy shooting
    Bill

    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.
