Trying to post my first photo on the new forum. Thought this would be a good photo to try with. Series 70 Colt in 9 mm.

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.

Just a suggestion. You may or may not know this. I'd advise against storing the firearm lying against that styrofoam. Moisture can get between it and the gun and you'll end up with pitting. I saw a nice S&W 52 that was stored that way. One side look like new. The other side was very sad to see.

Thanks for the info limazulu. I never thought of it that way. It has been stored like that since it was purchased way back when. I fired the first 50 rounds through it just this past November and can hardly wait until I find a big brother for it. I am undecided on either the 1911 style or a Sig in .45. I have shot the Sig with the figure 8 sights and found it to be very accurate for me rather than the 3 dot sights.
