    I ended up buying it, I couldn't find one near the price he was selling it. I took a look at it during the transfer the things I didn't like is it was the stock lightly sanded not enough to remove any markings of change the profile, BLOicon was used to reseal it AND the receiver housing (cover) has been changed to an after-market house for a scope and a Tech Sight TS100 Aperture sight has been installed. SO I will be looking for a new cover and removing the Tech Sight it's not drilled and tapped into the gun, it not invasive, its just not my thing.

    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.

    USAicon, I had a Tech sight on a "Liberty Training Rifle for Appleseed" based on a M795 Marlin. The receiver is pretty soft on these and I had a dickens of a time getting the rear sight to stay on. That and the massive amount of left windage (twisted barrel???) made me scrap it for a scope. Loved the sight and sight picture. On a SKS, the sight radius is pretty short but at least with the M59/66 you can put up the night sights on the back and get a better notch, the front is too big. I have my SKS about as good as it can be for what it is, but it would have been fun to toss practice grenades. The Swissicon Stgw 57 has a rubber rear stock that was designed as a recoil absorber for launching their giant "carrot" rifle grenades and not spit the stock. I did do a pretty heavy cleaning of the chamber with JB paste and a cleaning patch wrapped on a brush driven by a drill (put a drinking straw around the rod at the back of the receiver as the trunions are sharp as razors) to get the gunk that had built up over the years out. Seems OK now, just need another extended day shooting it to check. My bolt carrier cover looks like a thousand mice on ice skates had a winter party. I wish I owned a sand blaster... Enjoy

    If you live anywhere San Diego I can help you out with that. Mines not great but it works for small stuff, I need a bigger compressor.

    USAicon,

    I don't but my dad is near Temecula. I get down a couple of times a year. He is retired Navy Reserve (he got a trip to Kuwait 29 years ago at 55). You have probably passed each other at the Pendleton PX.
