    Inland on Gun Broker

    Hi, I am considering this Inand for sale on Gun Broker and just wanted to see if I could get some general feedback on it as to its authenticity. Thanks ahead of time!

    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.

    There are no close up shots of the rear sight and it looks suspect to me. None of the photos are of good enough quality to make a good call on this carbine. It does look nice from the photos but how will it look in the hand?

    I think it looks nice, but I am not yet to the point where I am able to swallow (or shop for) carbines priced exceeding $1,000 reserves.

    One thing I would suggest is to ask for more "accurate" pictures of the full Stock. If you look at the pics where the full stock is shown, there is a severe red tint to stock AND the receiver. I also question a few spots that may (I said 'may') be touched up on the a bit. Looks like those particular photos were ran through photoshop. Maybe he was just trying to adjust the lighting so people could see???? Anyway, I would want to see pics that show the true color and condition. Just my two cents worth on a +$1,000 bidding war.

    I had it on my watch list but I bought a Winchester instead last week. Like most carbines there are things I like about it and things I don't. Good luck with it.
