    cost going up??

    Let me give you the latest , I see everyday the lack of primers and brass and bullets and powder in quantity . Now look over the prices on the net, anywhere you go, and compare to a year ago, and wow, what a hit. This is going to keep sneeking up on us as the big places like Cabellie's and Midway and No-way raise the costs to backorder needed components and hit you all with the increase. I hate to pay $25 to get one damn jug of powder and any box of primers you can get. I think the day of good reloading is almost over. can we buy loaded rounds in bulk almost as cheap?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hi duggaboy,

    you hate to pay $ 25 for powder and i would love to pay only $ 25. For the pistol powder we have to pay $ 62 for 500grams and $96 for 1000grams of rifle powder. So your on the cheaper side of the pond!

    Regards

    I know I am cheap, but I don't squeak when I walk like my wife does: man is she cheap. By the way, how are you? Nice to hear from you, and the new scope for my sweed is almost here at the door now on the UPS truck, I got a nice Leupold, extended eye releif, variable on the way and got it on sale on EBAY pretty cheap. see you later.

    Hi duggaboy,

    I would never say that you are cheap, but your purchasing options are cheaper than here. Hope your Leupold will work well on your Swede

    I bought shotgun primers today and the price was actual back down to nearly what it was when the "shortage " started.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
