    Nice looking rifle, I never had the opportunity to own one either past times or now. Now there's decidedly less to find around too.
    Regards, Jim

    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 ...

    Nice one Ovidio I have the "S" type rear sight set up on a felt covered block of pine along with other sights as mini displays as thats what a WWII armourer said to do as it makes for interesting conversation pieces sometimes and well makes them sort of useful instead of just lanquishing in a drawer never seeing the light of day..

    Yep, super looking G98, as has been mentioned, they are getting very hard to come by in good shooting order today.

    Going back 10 years, WW2 K98icon's were available relatively easily in the UKicon, via the Ukrainian stores being released onto the market.

    The ex Norwegianicon capture examples are still available in .30-06, but I would 'ideally' like a stock 7.92 example, WW2 German issue and not a mix master Russianicon capture piece.

    At some point this year I plan on adding one to the collection, with a WW1 G98 to follow.

    I guess it's a matter of waiting and and watching, as we all have to do in our hobby guys...
