    Geoff,
    I remember buying a replacement H&K box whilst serving to replace a shot out kit via Donnington, and I believe I had glimpse of an invoice at £4500 to MOD. I was offered a H&K complete kit last year at £2500 from a southern dealer who happened to have it on the shelf when I started this whole thing with Peter Sarony at Armalon.
    Yes I could have had that kit knowing it was a proven L1A1 additive, but decided to help him out with John Clark to keep his business going for one, albeit he is busy anyway, but also to get the best, and someone you can always return to, to get a personal answer, and a finer craftsman you will not find!!

    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 ...

    Thanks Gil, Thats not a bad price, I'm just short of the barrel insert which John is happy to help out when I'm ready to back engineer etc, I've still no workshop at present so limited to what I can do.

    Just received my conv kit box made by Andy Sharp, the workmanship and attention to detail are superb, if I knew how I would download pictures. This thing is bang on.
