    Pictures of my new QHMC

    I got this last Thur. 5 Mar. 09. I saw it for sale in a local shopper on Wed. I called right away and set a time to look at it, it was about an hour away. The man called me back in the morning and said a local man came and looked at it in the morning, my apointment was in the afternoon. He said the other person wanted it then and their, but he told him I had called first and he would give me first right of refusal. I thought the price was right and took it home....Frank:

    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.

    Frank,
    Very nice looking carbine, nice find.
    Hat's off to the seller ! Very good of him to wait for you. Usually it's the first dog to the bone that gets it. Lucky for you that wasn't the case. Great looking finish on wood and metal. Thanks for sharing your find.

    Regards
    Charlie-painter777

    Charlie, yes the man was a true gentleman to give me the oppertunity to look at the rifle. I know you know Carbines, so may I ask you a couple of questions? First the sn. is close to one of yours 476201, it has an Inland barrel 1-44. I think that is O.K. The front sight is E U, the band is SA, the hammer is H.I., the rear sight is PI. I believe all of the other parts are QMHC I listed them in a previous post. My question is are these parts O.K. for this rifle? Thanks....Frank
