I'm off work and bored!

**Bill Hollinger** · 08-18-2011 10:42 PM

I've been off work for a month due to a knee injury and I'm starting to go bonkers!

I'm going to take it out for a test spin tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll call a coyote in!

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.

Looks nice. What was your choice of paint?

**Bill Hollinger** · 08-18-2011 10:51 PM

Gillespie from Rapco in Texas. It is the paint I used when I restored my WWII jeep. 33070 lusterless olive drab (top photo) and beige primer. I jerked weeds from the flower bed (I made points there) and used them for the pattern. I'm happy with how it turned out.

No I didn't bake it on. I thought about it but SWMBO would not take too kindly to the smell of cooked paint throughout the house.

Oh, don't? ah, crap! How do I get the paint off this Irwin Pedersen?

**imarangemaster** · 08-19-2011 07:54 PM

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Seriously, take some of theat time and make a 601 or 602 clone! It will go well with the carbines
