    Being outside lubricated, 22LR residue will always build up. Need to clean every now and then.

    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 put a complete Ace slide together from single parts from Numrich back in the late ‘70’s and fitted it to my ipsc match 1911 pistol. Nowhere near as accurate as my Woodsmans but I used it as a practice gun for ipsc. 22s were dirt cheap then compared to reloading .45acp. A complete pistol would be a cool 1911 variation to add to a collection.

    Update reference the ACE with Covid and everything here in the UKicon, we decided not too buy the pistol, so we found something else, still a Colt & a 1911 but in 9mm a Series 70 Factory 9mm version dated to 1972 its in mint condition, and as we already own other 9mm's it fits in well with the 9mm collection.

    That should handle any ammo you wish to feed it and give flawless accuracy and performance.
