    My gun show display this weekend....rifle choices.

    So, I have three tables for a display this weekend at the Puyallup show. I have chosen the following rifles to display:
    LE I
    RIC Carbine
    ShtLe I***
    No1MkIII*
    No1MkIII* canceled
    No1MkIII Siam contract (smiling tiger)
    No4MkI
    No4MkI*
    No4Mk1/3
    Trials T
    No4MkIT
    L42
    Enforcer
    No2MkIV
    CNo7
    No8
    .22 RF Short MkII


    About all I could add are examples of an Aussie No1MkIII, and a Savage and Longbranch No4MkI*.

    I will have various books and pamphlets, bayonets, and a small TV playing a slideshow of war pics from WWi to Korea.

    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 ...

    The only suggestion that I have is to guard them closely as I would love to have that spread in my gun safe. Or I could also suggest that you send them to me for safekeeping.

    Yes...drop a few of those heavy old beasties off in Everett on your way south...save the wear and tear on your suspension. That's a long haul all the way to Puyallup. I'll gladly watch over them, as long as you make sure to pick them back up in 20 or 30 years.

    I'd consider adding the Savage as the "U.S. Property" may spark some discussions. Whatever you decide we'd enjoy a couple of pictures of your display-sounds great.

    Aw c'mon on it's only a little further to Florida. Lucky at our show if you find one or two and they are usually beaters. How about a shot of your display at the show.

    Sounds like a great looking display, I haven't been to the Puyallup show in years, I"m tempted to drive down just to have a look at your collection.

    No one around here really does a "gun show" with displays. I think we need to get that started again. Of course I am trying just to hang on to my guns now. We are under a huge anti gun assault and we are fighting hard. Sorry, not the proper place for that discussion.

    Love to see the pictures.

    Thanks,

    Brian B

    Why, are you willing to donate a couple to my collection?

    The No4Mk1/3 is a Savage and still has the US Property marking.
