    The Last Gas Trap?

    The Fall issue of the GCAicon Journal should be in the mail next week... the Featured Rifle is the highest GT known, totally original and excellent condition. Lots to learn from it! If you are not a GCA member you won't see this stuff. For a measly $25 a year you get four magazines, including the Winter issue that will have the complete story on LEAD rebuilds. What are you waiting for, an engraved invitation?

    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.

    mid 1940 rifles

    Like Bob Seijasicon stated above, the GCAicon Journal is the best buy for $25 per year and a lot of color photos too, when I joined they were still trying to get twenty guys to join !

    Photo of my 52112 not original (needed some work) and not gas trap either but has the
    July 1940 barrel which is not common but correct. Attachment 56036Attachment 56037Attachment 56038Attachment 56039

    52112

    51559 was very probably built in July 1940, same as your 52112. I'll bet the parts (other than the GT components) are the same. SA was building GasTrap and Gas Port rifles at the same time in July 1940.

    Please excuse my ignorance, what is GCAicon? I assume it's not the Gujerati Cultural Assoc which came up in my Google search.
