    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 received a message from GB that they would review the listing, which tells me they will do nothing.

    Getting an auction site or a LEA to take action against the seller of a bogus item is a lot like trying to teach a cat how to sing: It is a waste of your time, & it annoys the cat.

    "Unattributed restorations" may not fool the readers of this forum. But, others are not knowledgeable enough to understand what is happening with enough certainty to justify action. And, sellers of "humped" items usually give a refund to unhappy customers, regardless of return limits; this means that no one can be said to have lost money, so legal action is impossible.

    Let it go; you just can't help everyone.

    I have a good buddy who has a closet full of fake junk. Guns, holsters, you name it, it's a fake. We actually stopped taking him to gunshows as his wife blamed me for this activity. He has been going alone and has tried to peddle the junk off to dealers. He hasn't sold a thing and he is keeping it quiet. Sometimes you just can't save people from themselves.
