    Something better than a P.13 rifle

    Well, there is only one thing better than a P.13 rifle - and that is two P.13 rifles!

    Just got it today, perfect timing for an Easter present. Sorry for the bad quality, it's raining outside and already dark. Better pictures soon, I promise!

    (Oh, and the coolest fact on them. is that they're only a few digits away of each other)

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Gotta agree with rayg. Wish I had even just one. My P14 is one of the greatest rifles I've ever owned.

    I could not resist posting mine. I tried mating them but nothing has happened so far. The differences of the Pattern 1913 vs. the Pattern 1914 are interesting. The safety area was changed for the later version.

    Yours are very nice and for anyone to have just one makes it a special event.

    The good thing about owning one of these in Englandicon is that because the ammunition is not available, you can own one without any foirm of licensing whatsoever!

    Ha .. I knew there was someone out there who has at least one more than me! If you don't mind me asking, what serial are your rifles? And are they all three fully matching (rear sight, bolt, receiver and stock)?

    Two are matched and one has the wrong number bolt. I don't have serial numbers readily available as they are currently in deep storage.

    So how do your Germanicon collector friends like the "Britishicon Mauser"?
