    Importing Firearms.

    Spent all of today on a round trip to Sydney to pick up a few rifles.
    Two of these have been doing a tour of the Eastern Seaboard courtesy of Border Force.
    They came in two months ago, but ended up in Brisbane instead of Sydney, took a bit of hunting down and sorting out, but all good now.

    The other one arrived within a week, straight through, so all I had to do is get Customs to send the others down to Sydney and all set for an easy pickup.

    The good part of this story, beside working out the fastest import system, was that they waved the fees on the first two, due to it being their stuffup, got to love them.

    Did I mention these were all collectables?

    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 ...

    Pic's.......what are they? I think I need to be a bit like Bindi

    Black, plastic and very fantastic.........as if.
    Maybe Wood, good as real guns should.

    Just more Lithgowicon's.

    Demo will be able to relate to this, when I finally got around to checking them over, one had a bent butt trap, caused by dropping on the floor with the trap open, another had the small safety lug on the bolt freshly sheared off. I guess the rubber mallet has gone hard.
