    Some of my collection--The Big'uns

    Training aids. Top to bottom:
    1919 A4
    BAR
    M1icon Garand
    (Standard Size M1 Garand)
    M1 Carbine
    M2 Carbine
    (Standard Size M1 Carbine)

    Was reorganizing and had a chance to get all these together. You'll notice it isn't raining. That's because I am in Arizona, not Oregon.

    I have the stands, etc. for the BAR and the carbines, but they took up too much space for the photo.

    Regards to all,
    Al

    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 ...

    I wish I would have bought all the ones Floyd's Store had in Bakersfield. They had three or so in each of their two stores.

    had the same ones, with wooden mounts, and the rare hard to find, 1911A1 pistol.
    1928A1, and the M3.
    got all from a large estate a few years ago,
    they are neet, but take up a lot of room.
    i also had a pontoon bridge set, 1.4 scale, and the Bazzoka trainer.
    sold them all on Fleabay years ago.

  8. Thank You to Chuckindenver For This Useful Post:

    Too Cool!

    That is too cool.
