    Early Savage was very close in manufacture to the Colt 1921 (except bolt & recoil spring) note the checkered fire control levers
    just like the Colt ! The Savage always was a better example over the AO 1928A1

    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 ...

    Anything with wood furniture! I love Tommys but, alas, don't have one. I'll say my 30 Carbine(s) are pretty handsome, especially with the standard 15 round box. Light as a feather too. However, if I had a BAR, I'd have to vote it up simply because of it's over-engineering.

    Got to second that and was close to saying it was mine too. I had three, a Marlin Rockwell 1918 from WW1 with a walnut butt, a Royal Typewriter from WW2 marked 1918A2 and a NESA from Korean conflict...also marked 1918A2. I miss those guys too.

    Probably my 1901 .303 brass Maxim, although all items in my collection (muzzle loaders to machine guns) have their own attractions. These days, with all the PC anti-gun crap that is going on, just being able to view and handle your own firearms is satisfying!

    For me, it would have to be the Lee-Enfield Mk. 1 R.I.C. carbine. Other than that, the Lee Enfield No. 5 Mk. 1.

    It's like asking which kid is most lovable!

    But the Krieghoff Luger is pretty easy on the eyes.
