    Watch out for the Ethiopian illegal alien stowaways.

    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 ...

Royal Tiger has a selection of almost every type of Carcano rifle out of Ethiopia. These Ethiopian rifles have a very interesting history, as they were used in the colonial war and in WWII, but they can be in rough shape. I have an interest in the Italo-Abyssinia war, so I picked up two Carcanos from Ethiopia. They were filthy (dead bug bodies were in one), but they cleaned up alright. The bores even have some rifling left too.

    Bought one of those cavalry carbines from classic last week very happy with a nice shiny bright bore and bolt Just soaked the bore in PB blaster for a bit and ran two bore snakes through it and it came out great nicely grooved very shiny very surprised. Stock needed a good degreasing the inside was full of dirt but cleaned up nicely
