We Need to Outlaw Sandpaper

Exactly, plus my wife said I could do it! It will be worth it when it is done.

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.

that description is priceless..."The buttstock has had some material removed".
I'd be scared to take position of that under a C&R license. I don't have one, but from what I've read the firearm must be in its original unaltered form.

Ultra lightweight.

C&R = curio & relic. It fits both of those categories (especially the curio part)!

I didn't mean just based on what it stands for. The atf page is vague in its information.

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios-relics

Perhaps it fits in the first or 3rd category...but in the "how to obtain classification" paragraph we have...

"Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF's C&R list. Therefore, ATF does not generally list firearms in the C&R publication by virtue of their age."

This is why I stated I'd be nervous taking possession under a c&relic license.

Rather than outlawing sandpaper perhaps we should mandate its use on Bubbas tender areas with a belt sander?

I would support that. I just spent $200 for WRA parts for the Winchester and know that de-Bubbifying this piece of history is going to cost more.

Yes, vastly. But after it'll look great. You'll just have to hang onto it for life.

Haha!! Absolutely! My kids will probably recoup some of my cost.
