    Sometimes its the little finds that make me smile

    As the title says, sometimes its the little finds that make me smile, and re-enforce my belief in the good nature of people/Enfield lovers - Caught up with old timer fullbore shooter i have known for many years yesterday, lovely fellow, asked him by chance if he happened to have a No1 Mk111 nose piece/sight protector - ended up walking away with Lithgowicon nose piece, No4 sight protector (unsure of make - has broad arrow mark only) un-issued Savage No4 lower band, selection of blades and screws etc, and a un-issued Savage No4 Mk1 forend -offered him reasonable amount for all, all he would take was $5 for lot. A good day

    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 ...
