    Firearm Quiz

    Can anyone name these Firearms in order from top to bottom and what Caliber they are....Jim..(BAR) isn't this in your Ballpark ? This shouldn't take too long. I have another one I will post with 11 different Military Firearms from different era's. If you have a Story about a particular one that would be nice

    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 ...

    So...the top two are probably L1A1s in 7.62, the second down has the early grenade launcher. Then the M14icon and a slightly modified probably L1A1 again, with short gas system. The bottom is a slightly cut down M14 with selector, and very short pipe for wider dispersion of auto fire I guess. Seems to have an FN pistol grip attached. The ARs on the right are speculative at best. Love to have a go with all of them though... I do have FN stories...and M14 stories as well actually.
    Regards, Jim

    I'd have never guessed Canadianicon anything...the buttplates are all Aussie I think and they have full body covers. I can't see the rear sights... The short one has the Aussie or UKicon handguards...you say it's a .22 conversion?

    Maybe they had like they did in the WW's training with the rook cartridge or a .22 less expensive training shooters than using a full size rifle rounds.

    We had the insert that we've all seen discussed here in .22 but we didn't shorten the rifles down because of it nor did we take them anywhere for use besides training. Falk probably does formal conversions for the private sector.
