    Well, the news I would share isn't too positive. Sorry to say but I don't like 2, 3, 4 or 7.Number 2 and 3 look like they came from and were worked on by the same person. Five has no staking for the pin which is worrying as well.

    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 ...

    Its too bad they have been beaten on as much as they have as they have been distorted to even a real one appearing to be fake.

    It's possible the first 2 I mentioned are camera issues but they appear to have been wiped with bluing and it could be because it was after someone aged them. The one with the banged corners on the base looks notoriously done to hide that it's reproduction. A glance at the bottoms of those will tell a bit more of the story if we could see that.

    I was glad to see that someone had posted something about Rear Sights because I've had these for awhile now and I always had my doubts about them. I never have tried to sell them or list them because of the same facts you see. I never seen Flip Sights that were beat to crap and also have the circular marks on the sides. I showed them to get information on them but please don't think I had anything to do with how they look and if I did I would of never showed them because of all the knowledge here. It only helps me out to know everything about them. I posted 1 of them when I bought it at a gunshow and was told it looks real but people who do this and prey on the new people that are now buying up mostly everything that has to deal with M1icon Carbines even if there Fake Sights on ebay. I sell there also and I take Pride in my 100% Rating with Great Feedback and I have Never thought about listing them and be one of those guys. I Never mentioned I had All Original T1 Rear Sights but I am happy to know that they are all Worthless pieces of Metal.
