    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 ...

    I think we will find the AR will be one of those timeless weapons like: 1911 45 ACP, Winchester Model 94, M1icon Carbine, and .38 Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers. Ubiquitous and still produced after many decades and generations....

    Unfired? That's just wrong.

    some early cartridges

    An early Remington 222 Special for the waffle magazineAttachment 50212Attachment 50213

    The other is the 224E2 from Winchester, old data states that the Rem 222 Special and Winchester 224E2 are not interchangeable in the Winchester Light Weight Military rifle but are interchangeable in the AR15

    I remember back in the late 70s my friend buying one. We bought it at a Shop drove to Desert that night and shot it the next day. None of the 10 day waiting period back then . My friend loved that thing I was enamored with the M-1 Carbine. We both fed it PMC ammo in the brown chipboard box . It wasn't till some 13 years later till I bought an AR . Now it seems the above style AR are coming back . Just check out the prices just for the Stocks .
