    SLR L1A1

    Was looking for an SLR to mount for a WO/Sgts mess presentation without spending lots on a DEAC (which you can't buy now easily even for Military displays) and came across this.
    Amazing how the Japaneseicon have captured the detail for this Airsoft rifle, and with the wood and all.......amazing

    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 ...

    Looks pretty good, the mess would likely rather have this one anyway. Storage of actual weapons, even when they were deacs was always an issue. Worse back when deac wasn't standardized...

    I can see where once hung on a wall it would be hard pressed to know the difference in the real deal. Looks like it will even take a bayonet. Also it's only 500g off in weight from the original. A fun backyard plinker that won't disturb the neighbors.

    The battery is in the butt, with the plate on a swivel, allowing access, thats the majority of weight to bring it close to realism. I was after a broken one which they get from time to time at the importers I know, so waiting out for one to mount.
    They do look really smart as a mess gift below as an example:

    Shame we didn't have the software that does this, in the day for training practises, teaching as you rotated the rifle:

    Gil you guys were probably like us and had the giant wooden mock up where the bullets were the size of a 40mm round I have a photo somewhere of me standing in formation where every one else has the normal M16A1 at port arms and I am on the end with the giant mock up.
