    Opinions on Sarco

    They have pretty good prices on garand parts. Anyone care to share their experience?

    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 have no personal experience, but see a lot of references to them selling reproduction parts. If you want original USGI, you may want to check on that.

    My dealings with Sarco have been all positive. They do sell repro stuff but in my experience they don't try to pass it off as original like other parts dealers( Numrich especially) have been known to do.

    Just read the descriptions thoruoghly. They are very professional with sales and returns. Good selection as well.

    +1, I wish they were a little more clear in thier ad's what is re-pop and what is USGI. Other than that I do not hesitate to order from Sarco

    Agreed,
    I have purchased a LOT of other parts from them (various rifles). I recently purchased some M1icon stuff. Mostly rear sight parts. I have no problem with them.
    As noted, read the ads thoroughly... if need be... give 'em a call.
    I know some people recommend to NOT buy from them due to getting junk... IMHO... all has been well with me!
