I hope my order is there on Feb 01 because the mail will be pouring in. I went for a service grade for $685.00 shipped. Will be luck of the draw as to what mfg. you will get. So the wait will begin but that is part of the fun.

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.

I received the Email from CMP icon

and thought " These guys are going to go nuts." and they did. I have all I need or want, two originals and a great shooter. I'd say that I'm saving my money for the 45s, but to pay $1K for a non- heat treated rattletrap like I had in Vietnam is not a good ROI.
I saw a video featuring Jerry Miculek. He said that the WW2 made pistols had only one heat treated part, the slide stop and were expected to last for 3-4K rounds before breaking. Now his late father in law and late B.I.L. the Clarks were pretty good 45 guys. I wonder if that is entirely true? I know that by 1945 Colt was heat treating slides. My F.Bob Chow gun was built on a 1945 made Colt, it was shot probably 50-75K or more when shot on the Army pistol team and it is so tight that you need tools to take it apart. So far from being worn out.

I don't need another carbine but I still mailed an order Friday. If I get lucky I hope it
will be a good shooter

Got interested in carbines a bit too late with the prices of late. USPS tracking indicates my name is in the hopper so perhaps I will get lucky and at least fill the carbine gap in my collection with a decient example.
Can you even imagine the hysteria the 1911s will generate?

**DICKX** · 02-01-2016 11:27 PM

I will not use USPS PRIORITY EXPRESS 1- Day again. The 1911s I will use FedEx.
