    This Weekend is a Shooting Weekend.

    Among three other rifles my Dad and I will be working with this one today and tomorrow. A '78 Vetterli.







    We have all the brass cut down to length, fireformed, resized and trimmed. Even during the fireforming process we were at 2"+ groups so this should be a fun day with the Vetterli.

    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 ...

    Thanks, and I guess it's going to be a few more days. Yesterday We got stuck on a Garandicon we had decided not to buy. It belongs to a freind and we determined a couple of weeks ago that it simply wasn't worth the asking price, but Dad felt obliged to make it shoot better. It had a barrel with very obvious machining marks in it visible with the Hawkeye borescope so he bought a David Tubb Final Finish kit and it took nearly all day to do the whole process. The machining marks disappeared and the group shrunk from 4.5moa down to 2moa, but not enough to justify the $1,000.00 he was asking.

    Today was the Wilson AR10, and though we're at repeatable moa, I'm convinced it can be less than that for sure. No time for the Vewtterli till this coming tuesday or wednesday. I'll save the targets for sure.
    Got to get back out to the range.
