    And they say humour is dead ....

    Incredible Ex-SAS/Special Forces Short Barreled SLR With Suit Sight - MJLmilitaria

    I shall refrain from comment until you gents have had the opportunity to take a look at this rare beauty....

    Ok, maybe a slight comment then ....

    Why do second hand car salesman come to mind

    At least my L1A1 'bitch' build last year was closely based on a real ex NZSAS Vietnam era rifle...

    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 ...

    They cut the barrel and slip on the FE to a tack weld. I'd have thought all along if shortening, a small birdcage would be better anyway. Horse hockey...

    They also sold an ultra rare 1942 No.4t fitted with a cheap Chinese scope and some really naff stampings. I did point out their error, but they deleted my review and sold it anyway

    Bloody hell Roy, talk about buyer beware!

    The buyer should have spent some time on here first.

    I'm surprised people get away with this sort of nonsense these days, gives the trade a very bad name.

    Almost worth a call to ask about the 'Special Army Soldier' cut down Lithgowicon L1.

    Can you imagine the cock and bull story that goes along with it!

    Who would pay £2000 for a welded up, mutilated worn out Lithgow with a hacksawed barrel and a mig welded FE.

    Peter, he would, I am sure tell you that the Special Army Soldier gun plumbers at Hereford conjure up the Aztec gods with a special dance, who then sprinkle fairy dust on the shortened barrels...

    Or, could it be utterly clapped out ex Malay contract Lithgowicon paperweights, that have been hacksawed off and chucked through the proofhouse and sold as bare faced lies ..... Hmmn let me think.

    I have a dozen rolls of toilet paper as used by 22 SAS any takers?...........at least it had the letters SAS on them, surely that must be worth it, even though they are hand crafted like wot they did in the H Block!!
