    early AR-15/AR-18 large magazine

    Attachment 21848Attachment 21847Attachment 21846Attachment 21845One of the first (if not the first) large capacity drum magazines for both the Colt AR-15 and the AR-18 rifles. This one in the photo was sent back on a recall for a modification by the factory. Cartridges are very early: the Rem 222 Special and Winchester 224

    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 ...

    Yes, I remember those too. There's one in the hands of an individual I know. I recall it being used 20 odd years ago and it worked OK after some tinkering, but it doesn't get used much now. We don't see them at all now, here...When did you get that one? Do you remember?
    Regards, Jim
