    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 thought they outlawed all semiauto weapons down there, so what's it take to qualify for purchasing a full auto?

    They have except to Farmers and Agricultural Dept permit shooters (Pest control of Camels, Wild Horses & Pigs from choppers or wheeled vehicles)
    As the ad says you have to have a prohibited weapons license we mere mortals have enough trying to procure just a bolt gun here without trying to get something like a full auto so I do not know what hoops or checks one has to jump through perhaps tbonesmithicon can answer that one.

    Ouch! AU$20K is astronomical by NZicon standards. That would sell here in the NZ$5-6K range. No wonder we are starting to see more Aussies at our auctions!

    Is a 5 digit AO scarce? I think my gun is in the AO28xxx region.

    Is it tricky shipping selective fire firearms out of New Zealand to Australiaicon Woodsy?

    Sounds like it would be a huge amount of paperwork.

    A local sec5 RFD to me had an absolutely superb early war UKicon government purchase 1928A1 a few years back.

    A totally mint, time machine piece. I believe it was 'discovered' during a home clearance and sent to him via the police for storage.

    I often wonder if it was a lost Home Guard piece.

    What a world?.......................why every State or country can't have the same rules....... but don't follow us, the Brits!!
    It always amazes me when I go to the States. Every State is like another country thousands of miles away when it comes to automatic guns, so varied in their responses!!

    It is impossible for a civilian, even a dealer with a special prohibited firearm permit, to import a selective - fire firearm into Australia. The Federal Attorney Generals Dept grudgingly allows the import of semi-auto military style rifle for feral animal exterminators.

    This is why these full autos already in the country sell for high prices.
