Picked this up at the local farmers market today. Can't find anything like it. Steel case, appears to be 16.5-17mm, 18mm at case mouth, rebated base 14mm, primed, 62mm tall.

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.

Thank you. That was super fast. I paid $2 for it, looks like I got a bargain.

**Aragorn243** · 05-05-2023 08:37 PM

I guess the dimensions make it a 16 gauge.

Nice piece...

Some WW2 aircraft cannon (20mm to 30mm) also had rebated case heads, one common example is the 20mm cannon on the Japanese icon

Zero cartridge.
also there are German icon

examples too

I assumed it was something from WWII which is why I bought it. I am familiar with the rebated 20mm cartridges and figured this was for something similar. Nothing was turning up.

Strange as it may be, they're Roper all right. I first thought maybe one of the German icon

types but no... Roper shells needed - The DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com
