    Commercial controls corporation

    Just curious, I dont know of anyone, or heard much chatter about these since I have been a member. My question is, has anyone personally seen, or know of anyone who has actually seen one? I know with only about 239 built, it would be a rare thing, if they built them at all. Are there any pictures, documented examples, etc, or just Folklore.

    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 ...

    a blue sky marked one sold at RIA for 7000 6-7 yrs ago, it was ugly but brought top dollar-I looked at it, even bid but got smoked-had serious reservations-have seen a foto of another-no other smells

    I believe the one at Rock Island brought $6500. Probably the highest price paid for a blue sky import. LOL!

    Just on the computer. Still kick myself for not buying it. I figured if it went for less than ten thousand, a guy wouldn't have to wait to many years for the price to catch up. You know the saying,"I didn't pay to much I just payed to soon". Very rare bird indeed. That one probably won't be seen again for a long time unfortunately.

    I'm with Mike, Surely there is a picture out there somewhere. I would like to see one also, instead of a drawing of what the receiver looked like.
