    My New Winchester

    Hi guys, I thought that I would share a recent purchase with you. I found this Carbine while chasing parts. A friend told me that a guy he knew might have a few Carbine parts, so I gave him a call. We worked out a deal on a few parts and when I went to pick them up I asked if he had any Carbines that he would sell. He said that he had a few and that he would consider selling and get back to me. The only one that he showed me at the time was a updated, Blue Sky marked Underwood. I called back about a week later and he told me that he has three flip sight guns that he would sell, a correct Winchester, a nearly correct QHMC and a Rock-Ola that is about 60% correct. The Winchester and the QHMC were by far the nicer of the three. After some negotiation I ended up purchasing the Winchester and Quality carbines. The Winchester is definitely a keeper, it is the nicest carbine that I have ever owned. It is a 1.3 mil. and is in exceptionally good condition, 100% correct. The muzzle gauges a zero. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think.

    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 think you are one lucky (insert slogan here).
    Beautiful describes it well!
    Any chance you could share what it cost?
    Congratulations on a really sweet looking carbine.

    The picture of the SW safety should be saved. On a Winchester the letters are blocked. Both the SW letters on a SP carbine are taller. The W on a SP SW safety looks like a White W on the hammers. Please note in your books. Block SW letters Winchester and tall SW letters SP. Thank-you
