    mate point me in the direction of those barges and I'll take the lot!!
    Where are they?

    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 ...

    deap in the bottom of the ocean,, or a couple of the Great lakes.... my grandfather worked on a Bardge that would travel out to the middle of one of the great lakes...full of weapons..then dump em in...jump on in lets go for a swim.. rusty globs of junk by now.
    you would have better luck travling to SE Aisia, iv seen pictures of metal scrap yards with piles of rifles, from M16icon,s to BAR,s Garands, , they had 17,s stacked like cord wood like a fence line..
    just doing some research and found that Italyicon destroyed over 10,000 M1 Garands to make the United Nations Happy...make you wanna join the UN dont it.

    I'm surprised it made it to $750 . I'd have a hard time paying the starting bid of $50 for it.
