    In the meet bubba department

    Bubba says, 'The short middle screw on my PH5a has stripped the thread, what shall I do? I know, first I'll cut the damaged shank off the screw and stick the head back in the hole so no one notices and then ... I'll weld the sight on ... '

    Frak, and then ... the draws are smashed and sheared off, and this was sold as a shooter ... Lucky I bought it for the sight only.

    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.

    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    "Ahhh, the old braze the sight back on after undoing the butt screw without removing the foreend trick. Second time I've fallen for that one this week."

    You'd really like to get alongside some of these "artists" while they were at work... I don't think a jury could convict you for what you'd do.

    I had one come by me that was similar. The sight had been ground to fit a #4 rifle and everything had been altered. No part untouched. Sad end for a PH 5A sight.

    So, are you going to rescue the sight from it's "blob o'braze"? Or just render it for it's components?

    Thanks for the photos of the distressed fore stock on the other thread. Quite representative of many other victims, unfortunately!
