    About half had pretty decent barrels. I will likely part everything out so the barrels will sell OK.

    More than half were Savage. A couple Long Branch. One was a drill rifle.

    All in all, not bad. I’ll probably make a few hundred dollars on my investment.
    Thanks, In your opinion, are they parts guns only, or is there any hope of restoration?

    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 ...

    I suppose it would be possible on a couple of them.
    However, keep in mind I bought a dozen. Of those maybe 3 are candidates for restoration.
    Not good odds if you’re only buying one!

    I appreciate it.

    I may gamble on them, I’ll have to give it some thought. Don’t need another money pit.
