Just one photo of the Model 30 I owned for awhile last year. A very pretty piece, but would not hit the same county twice in a row----despite a perfect bore.
It got a new home and I got a fine H-bar.

Always wanted one--now I don't.

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.

They aren't target pistols, but should shoot better than that. It is a very nice gun; hope the new owner likes it.

Krinko . . .

You've hit on the very reason I sold mine also!

I couldn't hit the side of a barn . . . FROM THE INSIDE!!!

I had the short "Bolo" model . . . . "Nice house, but nobody home"!!!!

Just curious what price range are they bringing now. I have one exactly like yours, only in near perfect condition no rust or wear. I'm thinking of selling mine or trading it also. Don't know how it shoots as I've never fired it. It looks unfired though.

I recall many years ago (1987?) when I was stationed in Wash DC. I used to haunt the Pikesville Show. They had a dealer with garbage cans full of greasy Broomhandles. Straight from China and in very poor shape. Cheap and now all of them have been re-built and re-blued and all look quite nice. China still has piles of neat stuff, but not coming this way.

"...Just curious what price range are they bringing now..."

I don't know----I haven't done the research.

If I might assist Krinko - I think he's asking what price you got for yours

Wish I lived somewhere where the law would allow me to discover they shoot badly!
