I once started collecting every different .22 Enfield Rifleicon I could find, then stopped and sold off many pieces when I saw that my collection would be endless. Oh I wish I would of continued.

    As this is a collectors forum I have decided to share some of the pieces I kept, hopefully to start conversation, and maybe encourage some others to focus on these great pieces of history. I do have some gaps in my collection, please forgive, maybe I will be able to correct that in the future. ... (continued)

    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 ...

    While we're talking 22 trainers

    Can someone shed some light on this one?..It is a beautiful Lithgowicon, 1944 built rifle...It's stock isn't marked like UKicon 22's, as there's no trace of the large stampings on the buttstock's right side...There is, however, a brass unit disk with the correct serial number of the rifle...Is this correct for the Lithgows? As the pic shows, the wood is very proud of the metal, and I don't think it was ever sanded...There is a scar (or old stamp?) about midway up on stock in pic...No clue what this is...Anyone?..This is an all-matching rifle that came with the correct sling as well..

    My first Lithgow, so any input would be most appreciated on this..

    Thanks
