    another rare variation

    this in some eyes may be a rare variation that is seldom seen. I have never seen one at this price before. Better look now before it disappears.http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=125430597

    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 ...

    At least he didn't claim it was an all correct original USGI!
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Interesting that the upper hand-guard isn't ventilated.
    And... it'd look better without the bayo lug.

    Think I should offer him an even trade for my "Guaranteed All non-USGI Universal"?

    Nice stock tho...

    I guess I should of kept my Alpine. When I replaced my metal handguard with a G.I. and took it to a Gun Show for sale or trade; it was purchased with no questions asked. BTW, it was a good shooter....

    A friend has one and loves it. He runs enough $$ ammo $$ thru it every couple months that could have bought him a CMPicon Carbine by now.

    .....because if you did not ask the question that would cause you to be dissatisfied I will not take the item back! ALL sales are final and AS IS.

    So his customers must guess what 'might' cause them to be dissatisfied.
    With terms like this how could you go wrong?

    He must have missed the decimal two places over.
    $14.90 sounds about right.
