    Hello! Interested in opinions.

    Hello gentlemen. This is my first post. I have loved the M1icon rifle since I was a child but it wasn't until just recently that I was able to purchase my first two rifles.

    I would love for all of you with more knowledge and experience to look at and tell me what you think. I have attached the GB links to both of the rifles that I purchased. I have not taken my own photos yet. The first M1 is an H&R with all correct parts and an original H&R stock. The second M1 (which is on the way to me now) is a post-war SA again described with all correct (original) parts and original stock. I have not received the SA yet (to be delivered today). However, I've had the H&R now for a couple of weeks and by my analysis it is at least as good as described by seller with all correct (original?) parts. The H&R has been to the range a few times already and will hold 2.5 inches at 100 yards as long as I do my job.

    Here are the links:

    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=230559302

    I plan on taking my own photos of both rifles in the next few days (after figuring out how to post photos) so I should be able to post any additional photos as needed.

    Thank you very much for looking and for your opinions.

    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.

    Yes, thank you cafdfw. Those are the intended links. Sorry about the broken links, something didn't work as planned during the copy/pasting.

    Thank you Charlie. Definitely want to buy from CMPicon in the future. I'm working on getting all of the paperwork to meet CMP requirements.
