    I was beginning to feel like a loner on my no shoot rifles list. Glad I'm not the only frigid one here. I did break down and shoot my no 4 T's to see which one was most accurate and the plan will be to use it in the vintage games in Anniston. That's a big step for me. Baby steps! One day..... Possibly, I'll shoot the mc-52. It's better than a "no".

    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 ...

    Your No.4Ts were by far the finest sniper rifles fielded during WWII. Don't be surprised if you WIN that vintage sniper match. Best of luck to you.

I keep on hoping that I will run across the serials of the Marine M1C's in the archives, but so far I haven't. They got them pretty late and the Archives basically stops when they first started to come in. Hopefully someday though those documents will be released for public view. I would love to figure out that equation.

    I hear you though on not shooting them. I have a real 1903 Unertl Sniper and people make fun of me all the time for not shooting it. But all it takes is one faulty round and it's gone.
    +1 if you are taking a poll...

    Rare

    So you go to a party and the host puts out a big bowl of M&Ms, maybe a thousand... but he tells you two have been laced with cyanide. Do you grab a handful?
