    Standard Small Arms

    Oh gosh, I think I've stumbled on a "Peddled Scheme". I have been searching for many years and this one just fell out of the tree and I was there. It's a Australianicon gun with no import marks and looks original. I'll post some pictures when it gets here...probably late next week. Regards, Rick.

    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 ...

    Yep, I've had many of them. It's always a small thrill to me when I find one. I've always found SSA examples, however. Looking for that rare and elusive NRF example!

    What makes this one neat is that it appears to have been shipped new to Australiaicon as payback for the Lithgows shipped to Englandicon early in the war. When it arrives I'll take some pictures of the proof marks and cartouches. From the sketchy information it seems legit and has no import mark. Regards, Rick.
