    where do I go from here

    I decided I wanted to collect a gun from every period of US history. For VN I have a stevens 77E, cold war an late H&R correct grade, Korea a rebuild rock ola. WW11 an A4, a LL gararand. a LL remington 03, a early inland, a victory 38 and a 1911a1. for between the wars I have a original 1920 03 and a early RI with an avis barrel and a POD stamp. WW1 a win1917. a original 1907 03, a winchester 97 trench, a 1917 Smith and a 1911, the war with Spain a krag an a colt artillary. indian wars a 45/70 carbine, civil war a colt special musket.and a colt 1863 cap @ ball, mexican war a 1842 harpers ferry musket. I can keep going back wards when money allows. But how do I go forward without getting a class 3 and spending a fortune for auto weapons?

    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.

    You still need to get an M1795 musket for War of 1812 and M1816 and/or M1835 muskets for the Mexican War. Of course they expensive, but so are the M14icon and M16.
