    Ap M2 SL 9745

    Got my AP from the CMPicon yesterday. Looks like all three cases are SL, which I believe is St. Louis. Anybody know what year LOT SL 9745 was manufactured and whether or not it is corrossive?

    Thanks, Greg V

    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.

    According to the information that I have Saint Louis Ordnance Plant converted to non corrosive primers at the following lot numbers:
    30-06 Ball – Lot No. 9420 – May 1952
    30-06 AP- Lot No. 9467- July 1952.
    Therefore it would appear to me that you have a non-corrosive lot.
    For loose ammo (i.e. Lot No. unknown), I would consider any “SL” ammo earlier than SL-53 to be corrosively primed.
    Hope this helps

    In my early reply I neglected to cite the source of my data. It taken from an article entitled ’Nonmercuric, Noncorrosive Primers’ published in the "NRA ILLUSTRATED RELOADIND HANDBOOK" released by the NRA circa 1961.
