    Interesting History and Caliber Webley Mk IV

    0624160758 by bigsargee7, on Flickr

    This one is in 32 S&W Long and a joy to shoot. 32 S&W Long was the first handgun cartridge I learned to reload. Needless to say this one is the fun can and plinking gun I always go to. Many a pound of Unique and Bullseye have gone through it. Smooth action in single or double mode. Taught my Son to shoot a revolver with it many years ago.

    On the history side it was made for the South African Railroad Police. Came with and interesting flap holster that is made of a material that feels like cardboard or extremely thin hide of something.

    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.

    That would be a very accurate cartridge in that heavy little frame...well known for accuracy.

    Exactly just a pure pleasure to shoot. 98gr wadcutter with 2gr's of Bullseye was cheaper to shoot than 22LR for a time. Might even be now.
