    Seen the price of D tips ?

    See what a creative title and description can do for you.
    Some D tips selling for more than C tips.
    D tips- ~$70 - $132.50......
    Is overpaying a symptom of Covid positive ?

    I'd tip my hat to the seller if it wasn't for the use of WW2 in the Title listing. Then using the description as a 'how to' to educate buyers. Just isn't right.......

    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 ...

    Notice sling color is the lighter green OD, Korean Vietnam era were a garter OD green.

    I been seeing this also, but I think the Newbie Buyer reads the description instead of buying some books and put some time in to educate himself. To me there's no reason to spend that much on a D-Tab Sling even if it was to go on the Granddaddy of MixMasters.
