    VFW Garands

    I started cleaning the Garands for the local Legion Club today. They have ten rifles and I made it through five of them, they were dry and fithly. Out of the five I detail cleaned there was one H&R, two International Harvesters, and two SA's that were both in the 400,000 serial# range. After I disassembled them I made data sheets. Here is the two SA's. These rifles are as delivered to the Legion Post back in the 60's so I thought it would be interesting to see what parts they had ended up with when they were rebuilt, the Vets that were here when the rifles were delivered told me nothing had been swapped or changed. If I am filling out the sheets wrong let me know. Both rifles had unmarked birch stocks and walnut handguards, that's why I left the stock part blank.

    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.
