    Because of my namesake (not speckles), I have always enjoyed Swedishicon rifles, specifically vintage snipers which are quite difficult to find but, when found, I just have to have them... Maybe a problem, like a cat lady. I have one that is built on a Gustafs 1914 receiver (uncommon year) that is fairly standard with mismatch small parts by the arsenal, last armorer rebuild 1967. Since then, someone felt that the stock was too messy for him or her and sanded it and put putty in the stock cartouches. This makes me want to collect all the snipers and protect them from the cutters, sanders, grinders and humpers.... here are my pictures.

    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.

    Those 6.5s sure shoot straight don't they? I just can't warm up to a scope so high over bore, too hard for me to get on to without a cheekrest. I like to be hogged right down...looks nice.
    Regards, Jim

    Jim, there is a cheek piece that we use on these rifles at our CMPicon match games that works really nice for just that problem... as I recall, they were made in Englandicon. The rifle on the right has the cheek piece. andy

    Very nice M41B its a nice rifle. I see you have a springfield with an unertl scope? Is it a 8X like the USMC snipers? They shoot well I have a composed one.

    Sadly this rifle is a clone with a real scope. Those rifles are a true grail gun... for me
