    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 ...

    That's one of the all storing models...rifles, .45s above...you could have that sand blasted to the white and a can or two of spray bomb would make it look 100% again...(troop!) Nice looking piece with possibilities...

    Current state-Nice!
    Sand blasted and spray painted- Really Nice!!

    A local farm repair or body shop would blast the metal for little cost, being there is nothing they could damage on it.
    If your not set up to do so yourself.

    BAR, We call it "Painter in a Can"

    I'd give Rubberized bed liner/marine deck paint a thought as for a finish. Many color options and the encased rubber would be easy on stocks and gun metal. Note of caution- these are expensive.
    You can save big $$ by making your own.

    First: Spray can metal primer the stand, A quick dusting coat will do because you'll be going back over it with the 'Crumb' primer.
    Next: Use a metal primer and mix cork or non abrasive rubber ground up to a fine texture (known as Crumb) mixed in it.
    A Little Crumb goes a long way. Apply this by brush and roller. This Crumb primer could be sprayed with the right set up, but few have these 'Hopper' type spray guns around.
    FINISH PAINT: You can use Spray Cans- Then finish SPRAY a Satin finish oil based Rustoleum in the color of your choice.
    Save left over Finish Paint for any touch-ups down the road.

    Just sharing some thoughts. I'm a retired painter and tend to make small projects time consuming.

    While your at it, why not PIMP it out and have it spinning with neon lights?

    I never heard of crumb. Sounds interesting as ihave a deck repair coming up with my Santana 525.
    I have HVLP guns set up for base and cleat. I also have some guns set up with hog needles for shooting 2k type catalyzed primers. You think that needle can flow this crumb stuff?
