I'm sure with alot of TLC, there is a fair chunk of change sitting on those shelves.

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.

that's freakin incredible! Look how well a lot of the guns from the Nepalese cache cleaned up, after 150 years. Those afghan guns have been sitting no more than 60, I bet there are some great pieces in there!

Not likely! I can't see any of those guns being let back in, what with current UN position on small arms, etc etc.

There is a tantalizing number of Brens there though. I was talking to one of the guys who's been over there, and he said they ran into a few people carrying MP40's and also STG44's. Love to go there on a buying trip........ Of course, I probably wouldn't survive,

but it would be a fun trip while alive.

yes i didn,t think that they would.

I wonder how many of those weapons were locally made copies.

Haha, I suppose a lot of the ones in the cache are like that!

It does not matter how dangerous the place is ,if your there to give the guy in charge a lot of US dollars for what to him is a pile of junk you are going to be safer than in Toronto. Probably the hardest part would be to convince the guy you are for real and that your really want those old bolt actions and machine guns that the only person who can remember seeing ammo for it is the village elder.
