Sorry about that, I thought he wanted to know what I thought my rifle was worth.

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.

Guts,

Can you tell me about the front barrel band spring on your Mauser? Mine is missing and I need to buy one. I measured the cleaning rod hole and it looks like 12" or so.

Thanks!

GUTS, how do you know that yours is a Luftwaffe rifle? I have a very similar one, pictured, less than 1000 off from yours. Is mine a Luftwaffe as well? More about mine is here: Who made this K98?

I was looking at old posts and saw that you asked about the Luftwaffe heritage. The question is old but I'll answer anyway. On the buttstock between the buttplate and the sling cutout there should be a couple of waffenampts and either an H or an L. H is for Army and L is for Luftwaffe.

Makes me a bit sad RCs is all I have found. I now I have a good benchmark for an original.
