    At Last My New Small Arrival

    Been chasing one of these a Central Rim Gauge for a very long time for my collection they come up from time to time and command a good price, this one is in EF+ condition hardly used.
    The bonus was for me the seller did not state it came with its original container and instructions which to me was more valuable than the rim gauge as these pieces invariably get lost in the big scheme of things.
    So I am pretty happy with my small score...

    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.

    Allot of sellers now are using the US green back and as our dollars pretty weak at present (well has been for ages) the price of things can get out of hand very quickly, I paid what I expected to for what it is but as stated the container with the sheet on it was the kicker that was not in the original description, I feel if the seller had included pics of that then the item would have gone for a fair bit more but hey that's what it is all about small wins.
