    Is Whitey using a M1A1?

    Overheard the gun shots and spent brass hitting the pavement on the tv in the other room yesterday. Thought I knew that sound. By the time I got in there this scene was over. So I looked it up. Carbine? yes.... thoughts?

    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 ...

    To me, looks like an M1A1icon with extended mag, flip sight, Type 2? band, and no sling. Not sure I could see the metal "folder" on it. - Bob

    I don't think so, think it's one of the others with a grip and the folder taken off...like the "Schmeisser" type... I can't say though.

    I'm sticking with M1A1icon. I believe I can see the cut for the folder in the left side of the stock in the first pictures, and the grip looks right in these pictures. - Bob

    It has a pistol grip for sure. But in the third photo it almost looks like the back side of the stock is made for the under folder type butt and not the side swing M1A1icon.

    One of my favorite websites:
    http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Black_Mass

    Some pages are better than others and this one is a bit sparse. It does say it’s a M1A1icon though.

    After watching a movie with lots of guns, I always go to that website
