    Final report.

    Cleaned up the trigger group, and bolt. (Sorry, Peter, that decades old "Her Majesty's grease/Dead Presidents dust " did not cut it)
    Left the under wood as is.

    Went to the Farm, and ran 20 rounds of PPU thru it.

    Easily "killed" several gallon milk jugs, and a quart oil bottle at 75 yards...after I got to "know" the sights,
    It's a keeper.

    After having owned, and sold, 2 Longbranch 4's, ($75 each, back in the '90's) and a pre '68 Mail Order No.5 Jungle Rifle, my White Tail gun, and thinking these would always be cheap and plentiful, I now know better.

    This one is in the vault, no doubt swapping stories with the various Mausers, Nagants, K31icon...and my "assault" rifles.

    Now, on to the Arisakaicon search...

    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.
