    Thanks

    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.

    I would suspect it has something to do with Americans realizing their new president is actually somewhere to the left of the Clintons on firearm issues . Also the buying of semi-autos started rising last summer a little and increased as voting season came on .

    M14icon parts kits vanished 5 years ago. If you have any M14 parts they are gold. I understand the US Army bought every single M14 part CMPicon had in the back room. The Army gave away all parts during the Clinton Administration. None to be had today.

    From what I see the U.S are using the M14icon as a sniper rifle In Iraq and Afghanistan. 7.62x51 is one powerfull round. I also here the soldiers were pretty ****ed when thay had to give them up for the M16 in Vietnam . I guess I'll have to wait for mine.

    That didn't take too long.Thanks Sunray , I was looking all over the net and I find that there's one not that far from me.I purchased a Remington from Ellwood Epps about a year ago.
    Now if I had the money I could probably find out where to get a working Sherman MkV tank from this site.


    Thanks again Sunray

    Cheers
    tony

    Hard to tell if there will be a fight or not , the opposing party seems to have there own version of gun restrictions as well . The political leaders seem destined to march off into the left of the sunset . I think that the buying spree may be the Americans that make the country work are bolting down the hatches and standing by .

    At any rate whatever Springfields production was in the past isn't enough to supply the buyers now . I can remember having my choice of M14icon bolts at the CMPicon for fifty bucks each and I only bought a couple for "spares" . Lots of us are blessed with 20/20 hindsight no ?

    I ordered an M1Aicon Loaded mid-December through my local shop from Springfield.... I'm still waiting and there's no ETA on delivery.

    So far as price goes, I'm getting it for $1500 USD (again, that's new). I'll wait as long as it takes versus paying some schmuck selling a USED standard for $1900+.
