    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.

    Very nice group. The only M1icon carbines I've seen are the resin guns for movies. M60s too...

    I encountered another variation today. An Elasco tool Republic of the Philippines marked one with lighter shading on the "metal" parts.
    I will try to get a photo next time I an that way.

    Talking of which........ When they were making Saving Pte Ryan here several years ago, the company had hundreds of WW2 weapons made using compressed shredded rubber (tyres). They were hand painted for realism by kids at a couple of local schools for holiday pocket money. The idea was that after the filming, they could sell them all of at shows etc etc for a vast profit. Alas, the UK authorities got wind of this and put a total ban on that idea - thousands of realistic Thompson guns and Garands etc etc in the hands of the lawless Britishicon. So they all sat there. slowly deteriorating..........

    There's a website for the purchase of film relics, it's a booming business and very, very profitable.

    I have a couple rubber duckies the black 'rubber' version
    and a couple that have a greenish fiberglass type lower, and a glassed up A1 upper (charging handle glassed in position, barrel is filled too I think)
    these have a standard trigger in place, and magazine catch, take down pins, etc,

    seems fragile to use like a ducky
