    Been a while since I bought a firearm of any kind

    Went on a search for an in stock Springfield Armory Range Officer in 45acp and found one about a one hour drive away.
    When I got there not only did I get the Range Officer (a very nice pistol by the way) but I also found this.






    It's built by Remington in as far as I can find late 1943. That date would make the scant stock suspect wouldn't it?
    I've been searching off and on for one of these that wasn't way out of reach price wise for quite some time and had frankly given up. I was very surprised when I saw this one for what looked like a very decent price compared to what I have been seeing them go for lately.
    I'll post more details and more and better pictures this weekend. My youngest Daughter is getting married tomorrow so I'm going to be busy .

    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.

    Not sure what you mean...

    Maybe something to do with original pics you put in tour post that we've imported and stored, versus you editing your post later and putting in new ones?

    Can you be clearer on what you mean by "picture changing"?

    Thanks..

    Regards,
    Doug

    Why are my images from Photobucket, ImageShack etc. copied to milsurps.com?

    I think I got it sorted The top picture would be the 1903 when I posted it but later it would change to my No.4 Lee-Enfield presumably when the web site copied them..
    I put the 1903 pictures into a different folder in Photobucket and it seems to be working.
