    Hows the G3L coming on?

    Back in the late 90's I had a 1940 WD M20 - had some great fun with that.

    There were about half a dozen of us in a group with ex-WD bikes, comprising (from memory) 5 x WD M20's, 1 x G3, 1 x 16H, 1 x RE WD CO and a couple of Harley WLA's.

    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 ...

    Slowly but surely............ all the frame has been sand blasted and primed, some other smaller bits also, Engine just requires a small bit of tig welding on the casing and can be rebuilt, I bought a job lot of parts on ebay and am using a set of Crankcases from 1942 engine.

    Been a lot slower than expected and with other things getting in the way progress has been slow, but in no rush, the main problem I had was packing most of my gear away and getting my machines ready to move, I'm buying a small plot of land behind my garden to build a new workshop, It should of been finished by now and all the machines moved etc but, still don't have the plot..... so am working in a half packed workshop, a right pain when you can't find anything and you never marked what box was what.....

    I have a set of BSA M20 crank cases and a frame....so maybe the next project, when looking for spares for the Matchless there was hundreds of bits for the M20, so picked them bits up for peanuts........ Although I did strike lucky with two petrol tanks for the Matchless, one for £15 and the other £30, as mine was well shot and required a sealer.
