    What are these things?

    I am sorting through a lot I bought and I don't know what these items are (among other things!) Do any of the members recognize them? Thanks.

    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).

    look like magazine 'loaders' of some description....pistol??? submachine gun??
    bottom looks like a camera tripod. Middle one perhaps a scope mount for M16icon?? or something similar with a carrying handle...

    Top pic is probably an M3 greasegun mag loader.
    Next ? mag loader of some sort.
    3rd pic is a cheap AR15 scope mount.
    4th probably a spotting scope stand, or not!

    These answers are worth the photons hitting your eyeballs and not much more!

    Pic 1 is mag loader for M3 greasegun as already stated. Pic 2 is the charging handle from an M3 greasegun, later discontinued in favour of using the index finger to cock the weapon. Pic 3 is a scope rail for an AR15/M16icon with a carry handle. Good luck with the fourth one but don't throw it out, someone will want it!

    Thanks guys for the feedback. I bought a bunch of misc. stuff and these items were in the lot. I don't want them and would like to sell them if they are worth anything. If they have little value I have a friend with a Class III and he may want the grease gun items for grins...if so I will just give them to him. ??
