    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Not carbine related but still outrageous. Here's a beat up poor condition, run of the mill M1icon helmet with poor broken liner the guy is asking about $950 more than it's worth.

    (I guess it just takes one mullet who hits the BIN button)

    Those are asking,actually buy it now, prices. Hell, you can ask for anything. Getting it might be a problem.
    Maybe we should say overpriced items that sold.

    You know, we could not know the market and these prices are low. Maybe these prices are set for when the dollar crashes. Get ready for the $20.00 loaf of bread. Or $2.00/ round for hunting 30-06 ammo. No wait, that is already here.

    When I see prices like that, I think of all the kit we had and let go of. Not so much the slings but the WW2 type M1icon helmets. That was the type of helmet I was issued when I joined the army. Everything but the rayon headgear. We slowly destroyed them and exchanged them until they were all gone. The sad thing was I knew there was something special about them even then. They just didn't matter then. So I only have one left. Too bad.
    Regards, Jim

    Back to the M4 bayonet, It really does look like an original, based on the Bayonet collector site. still about twice what it should be. WW II stuff has gone through the year the last year or two. WW II re-enacting is growing astronomically. I have an original WW II Helmet and liner I picked up at an Army Navy store a few years back (6 or 7) for $25 with the camouflage net. Now they are selling for 10 times that in the condition of mine. My leather handled M4 bayonet I got awhile back with an original early, no bale, M8 sheath. I gave about $40 for it. I have my dad's belt, canteen and dressing pouch. I would hate to see what they would sell for.
