    THE WORLDS BEST Fal COLLECTION!!

    Hi all,

    Came across this over at fal files, an astonishing collection of all the worlds fals, unfired in the wrap Britishicon L1's included!

    Some very rare US trails T48 fals in store, must be worth a fortune!

    All the weapons are apparently in store at Marine Corps Base Quantico and the pics were taken December 12 2008.

    Follow the link: T48 rifles of these United States of America - The FAL Files

    Un-fired British wood L1A1's in the wrap....yes please!

    My straight pull will be with me soon guys, pics to come.

    Cheers, John

    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.

    See now, that's a gun room. Except it would need a kitchen in it. Most guys would live in there.

    As a slight aside, I was in an armoury in the UKicon a few weeks back that had two new, unfired Aussie issue AD serialled L1A1's in it.....

    Peter

    It is a private international arms dealer

    Never thought to check proof marks, I was too busy dribbling on the guns .

    There were also stacks of Thompson SMG's, crates of AK47's, lots of pistols, a Gimpy that looked brand new and loads more

    Maybe I should try to join them. But I suppose that my limited technical knowledge and experience, I'd be kicked out too.
