    Just like buses: Nothing for ages then along come two.

    Firstly I know that etiquette is to not publicise auctions in case someone is sitting on a total bargain and we blow it for them.

    In this case however, I thought it would be OK (moderator - if not please delete) as neither of these are going to be bargains and I suspect deserve some conversation as they are super rarely seen.

    Checked a certain ‘broker auction site this morning and there are two P14 ‘sniper’ rifle auctions. Does anyone know anything about these at all? I’ve never even seen one before?

    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 ...

    When I looked, there were THREE!

    The two more expensive ones are configured as a regular issue No 3 Mk1* (T) rifle. Rifles of this style were used in action in WW2. Unable to comment as to provenance.

    Not familiar at all with the first one though; not a standard set-up. Belding & Mull 3 power scope and that style of mount I think is mid-20's dated, so perhaps unlikely to be UKicon military.
