    8x57R ammo

    I have some old 8x57R ammo. It's made by Povazske Strojarne and comes in red boxes of 10 cartridges each. It's oxidized a bit but no corrision. Bullets are lead tipped nickle color. Headstamp: PS on top, stars on either side, 8x57R on the bottom.
    On the box front: 8x57R, Erosion and rust preventing primer, Czechovslovakia
    On box back: Soft nose bullet No. 79, Weight of bullet: 13.2 grammes, Powder: 2.45 grammes / Sm 5

    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 will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
