    Test Drive of Recently Acquired Ammo.

    I took the old stock FN/FAL to test some new surplus 7.62 NATO from a rest at 100 yards. The 3 fliers on the Belgiumicon I called. These 40 rounds were fired within 45 minutes. I think I'll order more if available.

    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.

    Thanks for that, Skip. Have you had much chance to evaluate 7.62 surplus from other manufacturers? If so, do you have any recommendations?

    I'm a reloader and haven't purchased much commercial ammo. I have 80 rounds of South African 7.62. I can attempt 20 rounds this weekend.
