    INTERESTING HOARD

    A thousand guns were found in an LA mansion. Then the mystery deepened | US news | The Guardian

    Now that would have been worth sorting through, seeing those Thompsons and other rare guns!!

    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 ...

    As usual the police or reporters do not know what they are talking about . The Thompsons are Not WWII full auto military , but the long barrel modern semi copies . There are a lot of cheap .22 rifles in the piles . It may be a case of just reacting to " bad guns " and turn out to be not much ? With all of comifornia's guns laws it may just be a cal violation .

    That's what I would suspect too, it's a California thing...

    Sad part is that all of 'em will be chopped.
    "...Near the Playboy Mansion..." Wonder what made the Levin guy think that was important.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Having a look at some of the photos the media has presented is interesting. I haven't seen anything that looks like an 'assault weapon'. In fact, one commonly presented photo shows nothing but various types of revolvers strewn across what appears to be a tarpaulin. Noticable aamngst them is a .455 Webley, a .38 Webley and what appears to be a vintage .38 Colt.
