    New acquisition: 1905 mkII (no*)

    Taking a big bite out of my Christmas shopping money, but I figure the kids will appreciate it more come inheritance time. Sometimes you just have to jump when the opportunity arises. Just added a very nice early mkII to the collection. Needs a little TLC to clear up some very minor surface rust on the trigger guard.

    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 ...

    Quite the unexpected find. A co-worker inherited some old rifle from an uncle, neither knew much about it other than it had been kicking about the family for years. I told him all about it and congratulated him on winning the lottery of free hand-me down guns. I had the pleasure of being the first to shoot it for him to prove it safe. He actually used it to take a deer this fall. After which he decided it would be better suited to my collection and a new 22-250 would be more suited to his, being a hunter not a collector.
