    NiceM1 Carbine Pictorial History

    Found this today and thought you folks might appreciate it as much as I do. A pictorial history of my favorite M1icon.

    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 ...

    Nice,

    I wonder how many of those guys on the LCVP survived the landing.

    Nice,
    I like the service dogs.
    I didn't count how many pictures.... but the 10th from the bottom, copied here.

    Anyone see anything odd about this carbine?

    Wonder if that stock is Frenchicon? French police still use stocks with M1icon Carbine style slots on their Ruger Mini's. Don't remember if the pictures I've seen of those had a "sling well" on the left side, or not. - Bob

    The photo is backwards. You can see the slide on the wrong side and no sling swivel.

    P.S. 1st. post for me in a while. Feeling a lot better !!

    Best regards.....Frank

    Well it's about time there you old goat. You have to stop doing this to the rest of us old timers. Our tickers aren't what they used to be. But anyway it's real good to see your back and hopefully healing fast and well.

    Way to spoil my post BobbieG and Frank.....
    Hard to fool you carbine guys

    Frank,
    Nice hearing your on the road back.... You milked it long enough !
    Now you know the detrimental effects from crossing paths with Kryptonite.
    There's nothing wrong with Slow and easy..
    Now ante up and buy something Sparkly for Sarah.....

    Regards,
    Charlie

    Hey, that last 'cut' M2 was neat, with an original M16icon pistol grip in the fore position and an AK sling loop on the little 'butt'.
    'Really Senior Member' Especially since I started on the original Culver forum. That had to be about 1998.
