    My Garand came home!

    Its' been awhile, my mom was financially strapped about 5 years ago, and my Garandicon (pics attached), has been in the pawn shop for the duration. The situation got better and he came to visit the other day, moved right in and I'll probably have him to put up with for some time now! It first came to me in the late 80s for the outrageous sum of $185. Although rebuilt in the 1960's and then stored away at Anniston until I got it, the stock was way too worn, the receiver actually overhung at the rear. A call to Fajen fixed that with a Camo Laminated stock that was soon discontinued and it wasn't long after that Fajen went under. The serial # indicates November of 42 production. Did I mention that it still has less than 1000 rounds through it, on this rebuild that is.

    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.
