What makes me real angry is that because of U.S laws, I cannot sell some of my Carbines to longtime friends/ collecters in the States, where they were made and rightfully belong ! History being preserved in the right place ! The new law makers can take the lot, but my correct 5 digit Inland and first block STD.PRO will be the last to go. I am so angry ..... a law abiding, legal firearms owner for 44 years and now I am treated like a criminal. Grrrrr. Mikey. N.Z.
    We'll make you an honorary Kalifornian. I often thought even a Lawyer in this State gets confused. Things that I bought years ago legally I had to sell . I remember the awesome Pomona Gun Show we had here had NIW 30 rnd AR Mags for 10.00 a piece. Tables and tables of 20 -30 rnd mags of all kinds. My Re-enactor buddies were snapping up all the Thompson and BAR mags they could get their hands on before the ban hit. My friends and I often talk about the Pomona show like a long lost girlfriend.

    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 ...

    Not wanting to sound harsh, but the sales board is for listing items for sale, not the forum.

    This thread has served it's purpose and it's time to move on.
