    Things we miss

    Just sold on usedguns.com.au a 1927 Lithgowicon MkIII for wait for it $350.00/Au it had a rusty bore but heck production was supposed to be around the 3000 for that year making it a tad scarce. I reckon as soon as it hit the site it would have been gone dammit!!!

    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 ...

    it would be nice to be able to sit at work with a usedguns window open checking it every two minutes. i can't see an option to notify you when a new add is posted.

    Yes would be nice henryr I cruise it daily just to see whats on offer and would have had a go at this one running the risked of being cindered again by my wife who has finally settled after my acquisition from 18 months ago as she reckons I have to many 303 rifles and other affiliated gear that I probably wont use but half the fun is owning stuff so you can fiddle with stuff. I still have a long bucket list though will have to be content trying to fill it when I get up stairs as it is more than a lifetimes worth....

    Well Cinders, I'm pleased I wasn't the only one that missed it.
    My phone is linked to the computer and warned me as soon as it was flagged, by the time I walked from the workshop to the house and made the call, it was sold........I was the second caller.

    Why would the rifle have no rear sight - a "H" barrel maybe?

    that would be my guess, but i still got HEAPS to learn.

    i'm surprised no-one has grabbed the LE1* for $330. btw the '27 was $330.

    Has been converted to Range Pattern- Shortened barrel. I guess there is $330 worth of bits and pieces though.

    350 sounds a tad too much.

    Muffer I've been the second caller that many times, I've lost count. I've also been first caller a good many times as well. It's best to just hang up the phone and never give it a second thought.

    If the '27 it still has the original stock the complete MkIII woods are around the $320 Au that may go for more/mags if it is legit 80-100 and so on but me I would keep it as is.
