BDL LTD Visits

**tlvaughn** · 11-15-2012 10:09 PM

In the past two weeks, I had the opportunity to visit with Brian Dick icon

LTD twice. These were the first trips to Brian's shop and well worth it. Brian took the time out of his busy schedule to show me his shop and allow me to look around. I honestly could spend days in there looking at everything and listening to Brian's stories.

The main purpose of this post is to thank Brian for his time and to encourage all of the members here to remember Brian when looking for an Enfield or related items. If you are looking to purchase an Enfield, I would recommend getting one from him before they dry up. With Brian, you know what you are getting as far as quality, the same cannot be said for all sellers (especially the auction sites).

I have made numerous purchases from Brian over the years and have had him work on three of my Enfields (1941 Savage No4 MkI T Less Telescope, 1942 Savage No4 MkI/2, and my L42) and he has never disappointed.

I will continue to give as much of my business to BDL LTD as I can and encourage others to do the same.

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.

I'm envious, as I'm way too far north to stop by to see the shop. I do visit the BDL icon

website often and have made some smaller, non-firearm, purchases from him (so far) and can't say enough good things about Brian's service and willingness to answer questions.

I have bought some parts from Brian in the past. Even ordering parts you know you are getting quality, not some overhyped rusty or beat up mess. He is a great guy to deal with.

I am happy to recommend Brian also.

Just recently received back a Poole No.5 Mk1 bayonet that Brian had FTR'd. Properly phosphated and with the handle finished in Suncorite it looks ready for re-issue and is a perfect match for the my No.5 rifle.
Very pleased.

Thanks Brian!

I, too, have had some work done by Brian and he's a top notch guy. Only wish I had more $$ so that I could purchase more of his items.

I have known Brian for about 20 years. I've bought a CNo4Mk1, a pair of T's, and a L42A1 from him over the years and have never been disappointed. Brian's a straight shooter.

I too have ordered parts from Brian at BDL icon

and have nothing but good things to say for both Brian and his wife.

Well, it's just me now Hal!
