Needing Some Sun Shine Today

These Winchesters stand out like a sore thumb because of the sights and type 2 band.

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.

Dave,
The 5,8 I have the ugly pictures of has a 'Long Barrel Channel Stock'
I believe it to be the original stock.
No matter who comments.... or what particular book states, It will stay in that stock.

Nice BTW, Always liked that Carbine, Beautiful CC stamp.
Also always liked the picture Inland44 has of his Inland pictured on his deck.

Do you remember back a long time ago when BUBBA from Savannah had a pile of carbines that looked like Pick Up Sticks?

I'll get back later Weds. Currently busy selling off some xtra HG's.

Thanks to all for the 'Sun Shine'
It's been a fun post.

Great pics! I wish I could take pics like that out in the sunshine/natural light, but I live in an
apartment complex in the city. If I tried the cops would be all over me in 2 minutes!

Dave and GOLFBRAVOUSMC, your Winchesters are the twins of my 5,701,503 Winchester. I do love a transitional Winchester... Fortunately (or unfortunately when considering the draught) we have had no shortage of sun.

Dave & Rangemaster, my Winchester also hangs out in Northern California. On occasions it can be seen at a local range being given some exercise by KiloBravo. This place is a hotbed of Winnies, must have something to do with the Winchester Mystery House.

**imarangemaster** · 03-26-2014 12:46 PM

Yep, Our glorious weather died yesterday. Now it is rain, cold, and even thunder.

**shadycon** · 03-26-2014 01:14 PM

Time to put winnie away, he may get a cold!

I'm progressing with my Winchester stocks in restoration/refinish. The attached pictures show all four stocks, the top stock is the one shown previously on the Winchester action. This is a keeper.

Counting from the top stocks 2-4 are in progress. Stock 2 is linseed oil icon

finish, 3 is Tung Oil and I haven't decide on what finish for number 4.

Since 2 is almost done I decided to see what it would look like married up with Winchester action. I've included pictures of that marriage.

2-4 will eventually find a new home but it's tough letting them go because you tend to get an attachment to your work.

Oh well, it's a pleasant way to spend my time between Range outings.
