    Add to that little problem with it's supposed to be a Colt frame made in 1918, yet sat around until 1943 when Remington was supposed to have built it into a complete pistol? Huh? Last I knew, Remington production in 1943 would have been 1911 A's, wouldn't they?


    Maybe some noob will buy this guy's story, but nobody who knows squat about guns would. That is what makes me mad, cheats put stuff out there, and flat screw people over. How they can sleep at night amazes me. I guess thieves are wired different than most folks, huh?

    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 ...

    It's a shame that false advertising has come to be accepted in collectible guns. Just about anything the seller wants to say is OK.

    The grips are fakes also. They have the look of tiger striping or grain to them. Very common rebuild. Nice looking, but $2500.00 worth of nice looking? Not hardly. Value? Between $700.00 and $900.00 at the outside.

    The pistol is what it is : A very nice rebuild -- except for the grips , of course. Which makes me wonder if the finish or the markings have been humped. Maybe not , the sales pitch isn't particularly sophisticated .
