    Found A Smith-Corona 03A3 "Sporter" For Dirt, It Will Stay As Found

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I think I done good Thursday. Went with my buddy to look for a .44 mag for him. While he was looking at few revolvers, I checked out the orphans, the C&R and milsurp racks. So I see this nicely bubbad 03A3 for $200 that just got put in the consignment rack. I had to have been the first one to pick it up. I really don't know much about the Springfields, but I know mods when I see 'em. Tried to workem on the price but the piece wasn't even cleared until 1/6/12. The last thing I needed was an '06 bolt bubba, but $241 OTD locked me in. It looks very close to this one with nice wood, poorer bluing. http://www.gunsinternational.com/Gri...n_id=100180860 75% on the blue, 90%+ on the exquisite finely checkered wood, Lyman 48S, hooded RFS, knurled bolt knob, engraved trapdoor buttplate and grip cap. Cycles smooth as silk. Rather than miss out trying to save 25 bucks, I snatched it up. Learned my lesson passing on a matching Russianicon SKS for $325 last year. Picts of it when it comes home from Kali jail. PAX

    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.
