    It’s nothing against you, of course! Every gun buyer should operate on the premise of buying the gun not the story.

    I used to collect antique woodworking tools and it was always every collectors goal to find a nice old Stanley plane still new in the box. Read a report once of a guy that found an apparently unused one and decided to start using it only to find out it was a piece of junk. So in reality it was probably used ONCE found to be a lemon and stuck back in a box. Nice to look at, pitiful to use.

    With the rifle being THAT nice and unwrapped, maybe a potential buyer would think the same thing of it. You’d probably be better off saying “I only fired it 20 times and here’s a couple targets.”

    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 ...

    It SHOULD be able to stand on it's own merit, or you're begging people to buy the story.

    It will stand up to any inspection you wish to apply. I'm finished with having to defend myself against trolling. Thread/discussion ended.

    I’m sorry you feel that there has been trolling. That certainly wasn’t my intent. Best of luck on your sales.

    Ok, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm exhausted ...

    I know now how it feels to watch a dog chase its tail ...

    Lots of diverging viewpoints, but some folks still need to read about our Forum Etiquetteicon policy they agreed to under our Terms of Service Agreement" they electronically signed when they joined.
