    Recovery of a Blue Sky M1 Inland Carbine

    Recovery of a Blue Sky import M1icon Inland Carbine, 6-44 Inland barrel. This poor little mix master rifle looked like it was drug down 50 miles of Texas gravel road when I started. Reparkerized parts missing finish or rusted. Restored hand guard rivets. Stripped and refinished black soaked stock and hand guard, wood was sad . Stripped bore, inspected for roundness, lapped muzzle. Regrets, I once walked by 2 same make and date un-issued barrels for this little rifle at the Astro Hall gun show, price was $35.00 each.

    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 ...
