    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 ...

    check it out !

    Be sure and read the shuffin parkerizing website under the war room forum,
    where they talk about wanting to close down the CMPicon and get rid of the GCAicon.

    Maybe you can guide me to the exact place these statements are made. I looked at this website and saw nothing of this sort.

    In any case, since folks here have maintained that "Just Ask CMP if yoou want to have the same privelege as the GCA", it's reasonable for another group to have the opportunity at CMP besides the GCA.

    Sad how they faked my name over there in many different ways because I didnt put up with there mean heartedness and belitteling of people. What started it all was me calling out fake cartouches and the owner fakes them without marking them. Rick Bicon

    I've had Mr. Shufflin repair my stocks and he used to require a mark just to have your stock repaired. Do you require a mark to have a collectors type stock repaired Rick?

    Tim also used to require a brand in his stocks when he place repro cartoucheons on them. He quit that practice a while ago. He quit it because it did not make anyone happy including you Rick. I saw the post on the CMPicon where you told him that his brand meant nothing. You damned him when he did brand his stocks and you damn him again now. You are truly a better man than him.

    One more thing, RCS the comments you speak of regarding closing down the CMP are not Mr. Shufflin's or any "they". The comments are from one person. Saying this is no different than if someone here stated the same remark and someone else said this forum wanted to close down the CMP. This is simply a lie.

    Let me take the time here to set the record straight.
    I am one of the people working on putting together an opportunity for collectors to help out at the CMPicon.
    We are in the process of gathering names to submit to the CMP. We are also in the process of submitting the required forms to become a CMP affiliated club that will qualify the members to purchase directly from the CMP.
    There has been hours of time devoted to this endeavor and we are exploring the feasibility of making this happen.

    The official position of the club has nothing to do with cherry picking rifles, smashing the GCAicon or any other club.
    There are hundreds of people out there who were not allowed to go to the GCA convention and would love to help the CMP.
    The forum quoted by some here in this thread has a separate area that allows members to speak their mind about numerous subjects. One of the threads spoke about some select GCA members touting how they were allowed to purchase rifles.
    As usual there are some who go out of their way to ruin this change for people to get the same access that the GCA had to the CMP.
    Finally Orest has not made any arrangements with me or anyone else to purchase rifles from the CMP.
    If you visit the CMP forum thread about the M1icon Collectors Club there are several who are making fools of themselves.

    No only one person made the comment.

    Good to see you here on this forum also.

    the postings

    Shuff should apologize (on his website as he is not allowed to post on the CMPicon website) for allowing those degusting posts about the CMP and GCAicon to appear on his website. He still will not remove them either - which indicates his attitude towards both the CMP and GCA.

    They all had the chance to join the GCA and convention, but mh53 will mask his contempt with a long winded story about forming a club

    AS a long-time GCAicon member, I consider it a true exercise in Democracy that a new club, dedicated to the history and collection of our Rifle, has an equal chance of participating in the efforts of the CMPicon.

    As a former volunteer at the CMP, back in '98 '99, it was a real joy to be able to clean the rifles that came in. I had no opportunity to buy any of those rifles.

    I figured that the furor over the great GCA "cherry picking" session of a few years ago would have prevented the repetition of such, but that's what we saw over the past week.

    I welcome the possibility of an alternate club being able to be recognized by the CMP. It can only result in a positive outcome for the CMP and it's mission.

    I'm sure thousands of GCA members agree...

    In the meantime, let's keep the discussion civil and without ad homimum attacks...
