    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 ...

    Really nice Rick....
    Ever thought of a Display stand for a Garandicon or Carbine made from stock?

    Few years ago I seen a 3 leg corner table. The legs were Asian M2 carbine stocks. Looked nicer than I'll be able to describe.

    Cheers and Congrats on the Retirement in early 18,

    No Post War. All were WWII with a few .22 trainers and some 1903 A3 and 1917 Enfield stocks. Rick Bicon

    Picked up the final load of Barn Wood. We had left what we thought was scraps in a large pile and had one truck load left. I had a serious back injury just before I was to go up for the final load 3 years ago and could not drive the 7 hours there and 7 hours back. I finally made time last Wednesday and pulled ever last scrap out. I was surprised to find my helpers had tossed some good fixable stuff into this pile and 5 No trap stocks that were just the middle to back ends. I have a ton of front end sections and have already put some back together so I am hoping to find the fronts to these. Found a few more Trench art pieces also. Rick Bicon

    Rick Borecki - Outstanding American!

    Ive been working with Rick for the past 2 months on hard to find M1icon Carbine Stocks and he has been a professional businessman, a gentleman, and is a most favored advisor / educator now :-)

    His amazing story has only grown more relevant as the scarcity and value of M1 Garands and M1 Carbines stocks have increased in value and need over the past 3 years since this was last posted on.

    If you looking for that really hard to find Stock - contact Rick !
