.303 MkII chargers

[Sullivan]

How hard to find are the MkII chargers for the Enfield these days? And what would be a normal price for them?

In the Quartermaster stores I did find the 100 .303 rounds with clips and boxes. But I can't own the rounds.

DS Solutions in the UK sell a pack of 10 chargers for £18, so I guess about Euros 2 to 2.50 per charger would be OK.

Re thread 1........ Just buy the bits that you CAN own and ask him to sell the rest on, on your behalf. There's a goiod chance that the ammo is only going to someone who wants the actual ammo anyway and doesn't give a toss what sort of chargers are holding it together. Why can't you have the actual ammo?

What's the difference between Mk2 and 4 chargers as I'm a mere novice when it comes to most things. especially ammo associated guff?

What's the difference between Mk2 and 4 chargers

The MkII chargers were WW1 era (with the slatted bases) and go for about £3 (3.6 Euros) each quite regularly on 'that well known auction site'. I managed to pick up a job lot of about 18 'phosphated' ones from Australia on the same site several years ago, but I expect the original 'blued' ones are more collectable.

Thanks for the reply's. Gives me a good indication.

@Peter: I already contacted the seller. (Haven't heard from him yet.) But the reason I can't have the rounds is because the laws here in the Netherlands....
