    Old Gun Mags & Something

    I have been rather badgered over the last few years to do something with the shooting magazines I have collected over the years.
    Some date back to the early 60's right up to current of which in the pic are the bottom 4 pigeon holes with the older stuff up the top so plenty of room yet.
    Anyway job done the wife will be happy the coffee table wont weigh as much as it did you know the saying happy wife happy ..........!

    I got a surprise when I found a Holland & Holland price brochure from 2001 I have no idea how I came by it as I do not move in those fortunate circles so I thought a little montage so those of you with a wish list can look at the prices therein and dream. (Prices are in English Pounds so for us Aussies double the price roughly + our 10% GST & Import Duty + Licensing.)
    Gee wiz a set of scope mounts only $2835 Pounds and a Rifle case for only $2450 Pounds Ill have 2 of each .........!
    I would not like to hazard a guess what it would be worth now to get any of the items in there.........!! Dreaming is free thank goodness.
    Cheers

    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 ...

    I also have some magazines dating back to the late 70's that I still can not part with yet. I would consider them to be
    among the best during that time period. They are The Rifle and Handloader magazines, excellent articles
