    One more recent pick up-Colt M1917

    I just got this one before Christmas. I have been looking for a Colt M1917 for a little while now, but either they were terribly over priced or refinished or both. I got this from a friend of mine that has had it for many years and even though it has almost no finish left, mechanically it is still as tight as new and the timing is perfect.







    I have been told that the shipping date was late November, 1917.

    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.
