    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.

    I've asked for a verification photo just to protect myself... But after that I'm ready to send him my money.

    Verification photos to prove that the seller actually has the rifle today to sell is a good idea e.g. a photo of the rifle with a specific object or something like a newspaper or TV news screen showing today’s date. The asking price is way below its asking price last year, less than half. Try to check the seller’s reputation too as it might be a scam using copied photos. That has happened at least once that I know of for a No.4 Mk.I (T). I would only expect such a price from someone who bought the rifle about 1970 for $100 and is content with that asking price, or someone who is desperate for cash flow. The rifle is real I believe but is the seller? The old story “If it is too good to be true, it probably is not.” A face to face transaction would be ideal. Hopefully the rifle is not a stolen one.

    I would agree absolutely with Colin. The rifle is a beaut, but at that price you need to be sure it's not a scam. The ideal would be a face to face transaction.

    Amadeus,
    Just leading on from Rogers comment, you started the thread, by saying you were pretty sure it was a fake.....what made you feel that? Could be a good indication in which way to proceed!!

    Just the low cost... I could see a reproduction being that low but find an authentic T surprising bordering on unbelievable.

    Since the ad says no shipping, I think it comes down to how many Lee Enfield collectors are in Wyoming?

    Wow....that could be a bargain, if it checks out as being OK....


    I just missed out on a bargain cheap mint L42 which would have have made a nice stablemate for my mint 4T

    So he's acting offended that I've requested a verification photo... That and his questionable english/grammer for someone from Wyoming is making me question the legitimacy.
