    A Really Good Day

    We had a great day yesterday. A good group of people met up early in the morning to share a box of donuts and some really nice rifles. The Garandicon was of course a big hit and we were able to "ping" 4 new shooters. Definitely some happy faces and a lot of new respect for that great gun.

    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.

    what were the other rifles?
    And what kind of donuts? I find my M1icon shoots better after I eat a boston creme, but my 1903s prefer plain glazed.

    I refurbished this rifle for the owner. The owner before him refinished it with some distressed white antiquing finish with the action still in it. It is a beautiful gun. I actually shot it for the first time the other day and could not believe how fast and smooth the bolt was.
