    I agree, if I was going to purchase something that expensive, I wouldn't do it without running it through the gambit on this forum first haha. If it passed muster by the experts on this forum then I might take a shot at it but otherwise, I would just stay away. You truly realize how many fakes are out there when joining a forum like this one. People who buy things like that without research are almost guaranteed to go wrong these days

    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 ...

    Kinda like Dr. Frankensteins' lab: mangling rifles into abominations of nature.

    This is exactly why I like collecting all the weird and less popular milsurps (Steyrs, Carcanos, etc.) simply because there is basically no fakes. Those few that are fakes are usually faked to try and make them look like something they are not (i.e. stamping a ton of waffenamts on a M95 rifle to say it was used by Nazi Germanyicon).

    I am still, still not over the less savory antiques and firearms dealers and sellers writing entire encyclopedias in their descriptions, starting with the whole history of the entire category of the item in question and mentioning the prototypes and then the production history. (With clever listing keywords). Like a buyer does not even know what "rifle" means but is going to drop $1000.00 to $10000.00 for the specific (always overpriced) item? (Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.)

    (actually useful descriptions of obscure items from reputable dealers excepted)

    But duly noted; so if I ever go to sell my rare Officer's Cadet's model Paratrooper Cavalry and Artillery Sniper's carbine Enfield personally used by Montgomery himself during his time in the Durban Police I will make sure to start the listing with the history of early Hande Gunnes invented in China.
