    I suppose the mags are the key component to enhancing range enjoyment around these parts. Its good that there are pistol magazine variants available.

    Right about the uncontrolled uppers vs the controlled lower.

    I was really wondering if you'd keep the drum or not. They look neat but for the poor local practicality and the surprising market value dispite that, I would have sold it off as well.

    Interesting combo for certain.

    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 ...

    My first thought was that I could recoup with the value and rarity of it. It's the only one I've seen in Canadaicon. No one has them. I got $250 for it and that was fine...a 5 rd drum is useless to me. There were other things too about it...I guess I'm spoiled after having some of the things I used in the past...a polymer anything never matches a steel item. Strange thing is, the little 10s are the best part of it. The operate the Bolt Catch and the long ones don't. They're flawless...

    I notice it has a deflector plate to kick the brass away or down to where you can find them some of the guys in my club when I shot pistols had catchers on their autos so as not to loose the brass in the sand. Me I shot wheel guns do not have to chase the brass. Still a nice tidy rig Jim you wont need a big gun safe to fit that into......

    The deflector keeps them from hitting you in the face if you shoot left handed.

    I've been out with it and it functioned flawlessly. No excess flash or blast, not more than pistol for sure. It would be useful anywhere you'd want an SMG. I liken it to the MP 5 for sure. Very similar balance and feel.
