    Interesting M1 Garand at Auction house (dressed like a sniper)

    I was at the auction house today picking up a rifle and noticed this M1icon Garand on the rack. It stood out because of the GI flash hider it had mounted on it, of course I didn't get a picture of it because I was not paying attention when I snapped a picture of it. The rifle is dressed up like a sniper, but nothing really matches when it comes to the condition of the hardware.

    I thought I would share pictures just the same.

    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.

    Quite a collection in it's presence too, I'd find myself financially corrupted if I went there...too many toys.
