    Side story here, off topic...I was returning to west coast Canadaicon from east coast and went through the USAicon because it makes more sense when you've done it a few times. I went too far south on the toll road and was "100 miles from NYC", not where I should have turned. I grabbed the map and looked for an exit, found the road through the Catskills and West Hurley. I knew exactly where I had stumbled into and was road worn from ten hours drive so far, not even close to where I would stop for the night. I saw the sign for Numrich and couldn't resist, had a half hour until they closed. I drove up the road and abandoned my truck in front of the Thompson shop across from the cannon. I walked down and was alone in the front store, all this finery around me. I saw the stocks and grabbed the M14 stock and asked if it was walnut, clerk said "It looks like it"... I looked around and could have loaded the truck because it was empty and my credit card was clean...still had the border at Seattle to deal with though and thought the gunstock was enough. I should have kept the receipt for the stock to show I was actually there...like a photo of visiting a holy shrine. Neat place.

    My trip to SGW/Olympic Arms in WA state on the old Olympic Highway was another trip...just as good.
    Regards, Jim

    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.

    They make all of them. I saw a young guy I know with a 1905 Springfield bayonet on his rifle after he'd re parkerized it and sanded the ripples off the scales...and then he pointed out a "Repro" to me at an older collector's table. I took a quick look and found a brand new 1905 from 1918 with a late Mk1 scabbard...paid well under expected prices for it. Some guys can't even tell the difference.

    One doesn't have to pay high prices for hooked quillion 1907 bayonets; just be patient and not too fussy.
