    At least one of the buyers of STB's replica Carbines has been told the stocks, flips, mag catches, safeties, barrel bands and hammers most frequently aren't USGI, but he has ignored the info and bought another since then, leaving glowing feedback. Maybe these buyers are flipping them to a sucker who doesn't know?

    I've witnessed a drunk with an insurance settlement (and another with a wife's insurance settlement) buy until the money is squandered.

    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 ...

    Looks like a lot of RBA good ol George parts on the IP. Jim made a very true statement in that this is bad for the whole collecting world. Very sad!

    It does not take all that much effort to research a weapon such as this one. Heck, the prospective buyer could join here and ask all kinds of questions about it. Buy some good publications such as War Baby and educate themselves. There is a reason for the old saying caveat emptor.

    If you know nothing else, at least look at the stampings on the various new parts. The factory never stamped them perfectly. All of these are stamped absolutely clear and straight, struck well like they were done yesterday and in no hurry. Well, they were done yesterday so that answers that. This is no different that any other fraud, it is just a lot more money. He just happened to have a brand new old stock stock set. High wood and I cut. Like it was never carried, slammed to the ground, dropped, even taken apart and cleaned. What luck.

    "What's that a carbine?" "Yes, it is the most rare one made" "It's sure in good shape.." Well I had to pay $10K for it, they don't come along like this very often." "Looks like it was made yesterday.." "When you have the bucks as they say..." "Does it shoot?"

    This was me driving home from buying that lot of parts ----> *who's following me home?! is it that guy in the SUV coming to steal it back?*

    Haven't found the cheap IP deal yet, though.
