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.

gsimmons is correct.

30-03 cartridges loaded with 220 gr bullets headstamped UMC 11-05 and 2-06 (my friend has a 1895 Winchester carbine (1912) chambered for the 30-03 cartridge

303 cartridges both Mark 11 C and Mark V1

7,62x54R Russian icon

with 210 gr round nose bullets (difficult to find) the Russians started to replace these in 1908 with the type L 150 gr bullet but still continued to load this cartridge until after WW1 until the rifle sights were all altered
