    Glommed an Enfield .22

    I won two military trainers at an on-line auction today, including this Enfield







    Description advised:
    Britishicon Model Sht.22IB* Bolt Action Rifle, #F2712, .22 cal., 25'' barrel, blue finish, walnut stock. WWI era SMLE converted to .22 cal. as imported in the early 1980s. Condition is very good to near fine retaining approx. 85% arsenal blue. Stock shows light scuffs and bruises. Magazine internals are missing as this has been converted to single shot. Action is crisp, bore is bright.

    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 fine example of this wonderful rifle I have four in my collection and love them all, as for information there is a small soft cover book called "Britishicon .22RF Training Rifles" by Dennis Lewis & Robert Washburn (ISBN 1-880677-03-2) that will probably answer many of your questions.

    The Enfield and MAS trainers finally arrived today and I snapped a few pics at my FFL's before they went into his safe for the obligatory 10 day "cooling off " period.





    They are both in great shape. The Enfield bore is sharp and shiny.
