    My C&R Rifle Collection after One Year

    It was a nice day and I happened to be home visiting my family, so I took out my rifle collection for some shooting and pictures! It's been a little more than a year and I have at least one of almost all the original rifles I wanted to have, minus a few like an M91 and 1903 Springfield, but I love what I have! Just wanted to share with you fine folks! I laid them out in the order they were purchased.

    -1925 Tula Ex-Dragoon
    -Finnish M28 w/ Ski Trooper stock
    -1944 Izh. M44
    -National Postal Meter M1 Carbine (in my repro M1A1icon stock)
    -Springfield M1 Garand (CMPicon purchase)
    -1945 SWP. Israeli Mauser (chambered in 7.62x51)
    -1945 Dou. possible Israeli Mauser still chambered for 8mm



    Anyway, that's about it for now! Before the summer ends I'm hoping to get either a WASR-10 or M91/30 repro PU sniper, but I haven't decided which or if I'll get either, haha! And I'm always on the lookout for a nice Russianicon M91 and a US 1903 Springfield of somekind. Only time will tell I suppose.

    In any case thanks for all the assistance everyone here has given to me over my year of collecting military surplus rifles, mainly with my entry into the world of M1 Carbines!

    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.
