    Announcement *** April 2023 Purchase ***

    The Members Showcase Forum is designed to be an area for any MILSURPS.COM registered member, to display their personal military surplus firearms and accessories collections.

    It is a READ ONLY forum environment for creating NEW threads, however, members may REPLY to already established threads with their personal comments. ImageEvent is being used to host members collections and viewers of the various pics on that site, may also leave individual comments on a picture by picture basis, or sign the guestbook leaving an overall general comment at the bottom of the album page.

    If you have a collection or parts of one, that you'd like to display for other members to view, but don't have the hosting facility to do so, please read the thread titled How do I get my article, collectible firearm or accessory published in the Library? (click here). Review the techniques for taking good digital photos and also how to format and size them for submission to us, for hosting in the Members Showcase Forum.

    We hope you enjoy this addition to the Military Surplus Collectors Forums.

    Regards,
    Badger

    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 ...

    Well, here's my milsurp purchase for the month and for the forseeable future. A mint condition, possible unfired since leaving the factory, Long Branch Lee Enfield No 4 Mk 1* (T) Sniper Rifle with matching R.E.L. Scope and Mounting Bracket, along with an original Canvas Scope Case and Transit Chest. Current "going rate" as worked out with the seller was $15K CAD ($11K USD). You be the judge....























    I picked this up the other night to go with the Rifle on the range....

    Nice piece, did this one come from just a bit east of you on highway 14? I know of one languishing there, thought he might have moved it out.

    Nope - it came from Burnaby, BC from the collection of a well-established Enfield collector/SME out that way. The surname is Hawes.

    He has no less than 7 remaining Long Branch Sniper rifles, among others. The photo that I saw was nuts!

    ETA: He is a friend of Seaforth72
