    Firearms Auction

    Thought some of you might find this interesting:
    Firearms

    James Julia firearms auction. Some good stuff, and I am curious what everyone thinks about the two carbines. Both advertised as M2, both marked M1icon, but obviously with the M2 guts.

    One has mostly what appears to be mostly early features (looks reparked, perhaps some sort of post-war conversion), with a Standard Products reciever.
    The other carbine is a Plainfield in the M2 configuration. Never seen/heard of that, but that means nothing.

    For everyone's interest...........

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Its hard to imagine that there are people capable of actually building such a historic and wide collection of firearms. What a life they must have. Must be nice!

    You never should have posted the auction link. Marcus will have to buy some.

    I'll keep that in mind
    Actually, a couple of years ago, one of their firearms auctions had an M1A1icon with documented provenance to Normandy (IIRC, a general "obtained" it from a dead paratrooper and carried it for the remainder of the war) that went for some insane sum.
