    Ironically, I just bought four Sten slings off Ebay, and my point was, if you start low, you could get caught out. I was lucky enough to get them for what he started the auction at. Perhaps its because noone else was looking in??
    Its certainly a gamble, but it reflects the true value of the item I suppose.

    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 have bought a couple of rare holsters from him over the years. Both were spot on to my library reference works. In the last auction for a Navy WWI Luger holster, seller made an error on describing the cleaning rod with the holster. I pointed that fact out to seller and received an apology and prompt partial refund.

    Regretfully, I've fallen victim to the exact opposite problem: Selling things that I was supposed to be hanging onto! - Like my M3 Trench Knife and a 5.41M Inland that was probably the nicest Carbine I've ever owned. Someone had checkered the stock on that one, and Charlie Painter told me to just, "wrap some duct tape around it" so I wouldn't have to look at it. I ended up repairing it by using tips I learned from him and Frank D. I'm sorry now that it's gone, but at least it's in the hands of a guy that will take excellent care of it. - Bob

    He does cruise shows and buys batches of stuff at wholesale. There are some smokey/fishy rumors of bonking and shill bidding, but there are a bunch of legit guys who do pay big money for his stuff. I don't get it, but somebody must.

    I've bought a couple rifles from him, but always leerily. One I'm fairly suspicious that I got burned shill-bidder wise, but some of the stuff he gets his hands on is otherwise made of unobtainium...
