    27 May 20 Garand Picture of the Day



    M1icon Garand rifle used by U.S. Marine Corps Raiders during the World War II attack on Japaneseicon military forces on Makin Island is at Naval History and Heritage Command’s (NHHC) Underwater Archaeology Branch. Due to the rifle’s significant surface concretions, corrosion and other physical damage, NHHC Underwater Archaeology Branch is performing an assessment of the artifacts stability.

    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.

    Yes, I understand...but there ARE a lot of guys that would pay steep for that rifle. Just because of where it was found. Isn't this a rifle that was exhumed along with the remains of the Raiders buried in secret by the islanders to hide them from the Japaneseicon?

    I have no idea. That info is not in the record, here. I took the picture with its accompanying info only.

    I paid $58.00 for a 4 digit SA 1903 that I suspect is still the 30-03 but it's so corroded it can't be determined.
