    Mills Bomb

    Finally found a Mills bomb. J P & S marked on grenade, spoon and base. Missing internals but in good shape otherwise.

    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 ...

    If you can live with repros, you can get a striker, spring and centre tube here:

    I’ve bought various things from them in the past for Mills bomb restoration projects and the quality is good.

    Placed my order today. I thought I placed it several days ago and hadn't heard from them. Found the message in my draft folder. No idea how it got there. Anyway, once they actually got the email, the responded very quickly.
