    Ammo

    Has anyone used this type Ammo? Says on back made in Serbia. Also says on back made by prvi partisan which I have used and had good luck with. I guess maybe Academy re-boxes it for them. $21.00 a box - not bad.

    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.

    The small white stick on the back, right hand corner - "Made in Serbia, Distributed bay Academy..." What is UNDER the sticker if you take it off?

    Just curious. I always like to find out what is being "covered up".

    Just a word of caution.....Privi did make some corrosive primed ammo a while back. This could be some of it. I don't know one way or the other, but a word to the wise could save a heap of trouble later on.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    I searched on the web, says it is non-corrosive. I personally think you would be hard pressed now days to even find corrosive ammo, unless it is surplused. I wouldnt think any new ammo is corrosive now days.

    If it's boxer primed it's most likely non corrosive. The printing on the box would seem to indicate that it's late production with a bar code and lead and checmical warnings on it. It also is marked as made in Serbia so it was made after the break up.
