A stolen 92/96

I want you guys to just look what that lucky dog madsenshooter just scored: Springfield Model of 1892 (1894 Dated) Krag icon

Rifle : Antiques / pre-1899 at GunBroker.com

This time around, he's already been in touch with the reputable dealer. The bird isn't in hand, but it's official according to auction terms. I hope madsen's grandson learns to appreciate these things! His max bid was $657! I should have registered and topped his bid! Wasn't thnking...

The rifle is 116 years old this month! I can't say for sure, but it appears it may have seen the bluing tank before it got surplused. Madsen has an 1892 handguard, the type that doesn't cover the receiver ring, and I have a use for an orange 1896 handguard, which this appears to have on it. Good deal all around for us!

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.

That is a very nice looking rifle. The '92s have a class all their own.
