    Walnut and Steel

    Hi all,
    I've had an interest in military history all my life. My grandfather and father both served in WW2 - one in the RAF and one in the Army so as a child among my playthings were bits of kit they brought back. For example, my paddling pool was an RAF survival dinghy filled with water! These days I collect antique rifles and edged weapons in the date range 1850-1890.

    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 ...

    I have a bunch of surplus guns in my collection. I’ve always had a problem with focus when it comes to collecting so I’ve got guns from over 20 different countries.
    I’ve always liked Turkishicon rifles for some reason and have 40 or so in my collection.
    I kind of like Enfields and have 21 of them.
    When it comes to Mosins I really like M91’s and have around 10 of them. My 1916 Remington is my favorite.

    The poll results show about equal interest - LE 62%, Mosin 55%, Mauser 73%, and US 63%, when you add the %. Indicates the number of firearms most produced, used and widespread, which are/were easily available in private hands. Only Mauser rifles seemed to have been made just about anywhere.

    It seems Mauser is the only one in large scale commercial production. The other big three were military only until surplus.

    SKS interest

    I have a heavy interest in the M96 Swedishicon Mauser and the SKS, specifically Yugoslavian and Russianicon in that order.

    I love the Japanese firearms (Arisakaicon in particular), and it seems to me a lot of you all don't like the Japenese weapons, why is that?. Please enlighten me. Thank you.
