    Audie Murphy's Other Carbine

    Some may have known about this, but the first I've seen of it.

    Audie gives his horse trainer a Inland carbine to protect his family during the Watts riots.

    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 ...

    Wouldn't one expect to see a large circle P on the bottom of the grip of the stock?

    I do remember reading about this carbine. I think it was on the Murphy web sight. Anything from Murphy would be history. Did noticed the sling swivel missing and wrong but plate screw. Stock looks like it was sanded. But still a highly collectable carbine.

    Best Regards…..Frank
