    my newest and a very clean rifle...

    Winchester Model 52B, made in 1949, complete with a 10X Lyman Targetspot Scope and Redfield Olympic Front, Redfield Palma rear sights including a total of 10 front sight inserts. When you look at the magazine please note that it is a factory single shot magazine; the follower wings are wider then the body. I've found a source for 52B 5 shot magazines, $60 each for NOS!

    I've had some guns on consignment at a friend's gun shop for a while; he sold a Benelli M1icon and an 870 Marine Magnum so I took this very clean target rifle in lieu of cash. I also got a Browning, made in Mexico Basketweave Western Style High Power Holster and a Bucheimer "Semi Shoulder" snub nose revolver holster; a high rise paddle holster that unsnaps and can be used as a belt holster.

    Its a very clean example of a non-US marked early postwar .22 target rifle:











    Despite me naming the photos as "52D" it is a 52B as noted by the serial number!

    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.
