    I still don't know Ed. She sold all my carbines, or at least she now says she did when she has enough courage to pick up the phone.

    Talk about hurting below the belt - Only a woman could be so cruel. My Rock-ola may have been sold via a pawn shop and it now has a scope mount drilled on it by a bubba.

    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Don't feel bad, but I had six carbines Ed. One was a perfect late Inland that was completely correct down to the firing pin and was completely unmolested.

    She also took my 1903 MK I with all the pederson parts intact, WWII Remington riot shot gun in 'new' condition checked out by Bruce Canfield, Germanicon FN 1922 officer pistol, and the .243 Mannlicher my late father left to me. It was his favorite hunting rifle.

    I'm sure she got pennies on the dollar for my collection but my father's rifle was priceless to me.

    Let's go back to talking about Charlie's Rock-Ola, OK?

    Tired, she sold it to me. Toughest $20.00 I ever had to come up with!

    See guys, that is EXACTLY why I can't remember the combo to the gun safe and I only own two guns!

    Seriously, there is no way to deal with a loss like that. What is that saying - But for the will of God, there go I....???

    But Like Harlan asked, back to Charlie's Rock-ola....

    I vote we all meet at Charlie's house to personally inspect all of his rifles and his stocks - while he is in the Bahamas! Don't worry, Charlie, we're just going to take them to the dry cleaners for you - light starch, right????
