Three JMB-designed pistols, and one cat (she insisted on "joining" the picture).

She belongs in the picture:

Not a Glock.

One day I'll actually get the scope mounted.

What is your cover garment in the summer heat.

Man that is a lotta gun.

Actually I don't carry THAT one (surprised?). I just couldn't resist.

Definitely not a Glock, and not mine...

...yet.

Purty!

This one is mine, and is my most recent acquisition. I rescued her from a local gun shop, where she would have been destined for a fate worse than Bubba if I hadn't gotten there first.

She's a 1924 Lee-Enfield ShtLE Mk.V, absolutely perfect except for some dings and compressions on the stock. Only 20,000 were made as "trials" rifles; it was never adopted, and few intact samples survive today. Instead, Britain adopted the No.4 Enfield, which was made in the millions.

Enfields are my main collecting focus. I never expected to own a Mk.V, because they're scarce and expensive. The only example I can find online currently for sale is priced at $1,375, and has several spots of chipped and gouged wood and worn finish, that my rifle does not.

Oh, and I paid $200 for her.

Oh yeah! It's good to know what the dealer doesn't!

The shop the I frequent has/had one of those on the shelf a couple of weeks ago. That action was smooth as melted butter. I don't believe that I've felt a smoother action. It is a pricey refle though. They were asking $1300 If I remember.

i know it's difficult to deal with, taking food off of that gun dealer's table and all, but i'm hoping you'll be able to pull through this. it just takes time. if the guilt is too much to overcome, i'm here for you, and i'm willing to reimburse you that $200 to remove the gun and the guilt that accompanies its ownership.

good find.

You know, the gun community is made up of such generous people. I keep getting offers like this, because people care!

$1300 seems to be the average going price. Wouldja believe this one was under $900, with a second, "working" stock and two mags? It had been marked way down because the length of pull is too short for most folks. (It fits me perfectly.)

Can you say layaway?
