    early Springfield 1944 rifle

    I have owned this rifle for quite a long time and did add the fiddleback hand guards years ago to match the nice fiddleback walnut stock. I know I did add a few parts to make everything correct. The barrel has an excellent bore without any chrome at the gas port.

    One thing is the BT&BCO marked sling which is the only marking. I have seen the WW1 BT&BCO 1918 marked slings with smaller letters but nothing like this sling. This could have been a post WW1 manufacture or pre WW2 manufacture ? anyone have information ?Attachment 110613Attachment 110612Attachment 110614Attachment 110615Attachment 110616Attachment 110617

    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.

    No such thing as a bad Garandicon, just some that are used and have obtained experience and character.
