    Fake No32 rings

    It's amazing how the simple application of some file work can increase the price from $150 to almost $400 for a repro set of scope rings.

    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 ...

    Started at $1.00 and that would be a good place to have left it, I see a couple of bidding wars on the go and festivities are only 3 days old.

    Skys the limit I reckon it will push the $600/US maybe more depends on the 2 engaged in the war at present, then there are those that will strike in the dying minutes that could push the price beyond "Ludicrous Speed" a statement made by John Candy in the movie "Space Balls".

    Good to see that it's now been updated and re-started clearly identified as reproduction after some expert advice.

    Innocent lack of knowledge or was he feeling "guilty" I wonder....
