    My 1941 Springfield M1 Garand

    One of my most beautiful firearms is my 1941 Garandicon, SN 301XXX, which I've owned for abut 10 years. Haven't shot it as of yet. While if's beauty is stunning it has been refinished, at some point since WWII, as well as the stock. It's appears to be something like a black Dura-coat finish. The stocks left side wrist stamp says "RA-P", Raritan Arsenal NJ, and under wrist says "P". The bolt and barrel are both Springfield. Bolt was mfg 1952-1957 and the barrel was mfg 1953. Just for it's beauty it should be worth about $125! LoL Ashamed to say what I paid for it but I really liked it and it was soooooo purdy!

    My cell phone indoor pic does not do justice to the rifle. I had to edit pic to get rid of most of the bad photography. Needs to be done out of doors!

    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.

    The cool feature is misplaced, belongs on someone's "D" model. Should have a gas cylinder lock...round top...
