    The 1941 Marine Sniper Rifle with Unertl Scope

    Title of the article from the GCAicon Journal Fall 2018 by Steve Norton. This is an excellent article concerning the 1903 rifles fabricated and used by the USMC. A lot of documentation that was recently discovered at the National Archives is included too. Covers WW2, Korea and Viet Nam.

    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).

    Well, it was enough for me to sign back up - that's how much I think of our CPL NORTON and his wide knowledge on the USMC Sniper.... Cheers!! (And Merry Christmas to ALL!)

    Well, I signed up with GCAicon and was more than pleasantly surprised with the information, photo's, and quality of the USMC Sniper article. Kudo's to Mr. Norton!

    An added bonus for me in the Journal was the article on the "Devine" M1Aicon's as I have one. Purchased used from a friend in the mid ninety's.

    Regards

    Ed
