Bavarian M1 Carbine's

**Randoj** · 03-07-2009 06:54 PM

I keep hearing these are kinda rare and are pretty high on a lot of want lists as well as worth a pretty penny. How much of that is true? I have one and at the time the guy I bought it from didnt seem to think much about it other than it was a nice M1 icon

. He does private dealing from a table at quite a few shows and I talk to him often and he does collect and sell a fair number of them so I would think he knew what he had.

Thanks for any info, Randoj

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.

They are a special collector's niche. Normally they are in very good condition and often are all or nearly all original. That is why they usually command a premium.

If your interested in this niche, you may be in luck for an opportunity...

Here's a shameless plug for a very nice Saginaw that's for sale.

They usually are in very nice condition. But personally I just can't warm up to all the markings that are on them.
I know a guy that these are all he collects.
He laughs at me for collecting all the carbine web gear I find.
To each their own.
