    Yes I do give a lot of it away. A friend came by the house last night and he went home with a pocket full of .45acp brass and a couple of once fired .243. I'm always looking for ammo or reloading components no matter where I go, most of it is for someone else. I just picked up a brick of 22 lr (25.00usd) for a friend in California.

    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.

    You guys are amateurs....I've got at least 60,000 primers of all types. Probably more powder than legally allowed and so many bullets, cast and jacketed that I won't even attempt to count them. No, I'm not obcessed. No, I'm not addicted. I just don't want to run out in the next week or two.......or 50....or 100....
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Back to "If Only". If only I could send you some. Where I deal I would bet they still have over a million rounds of .22LR. Had two million a few months ago and panic buying in that cal. seems to have died off . Guess when you know there are still a couple of pallets in the back you don't over react. To be honest they have a pretty decent representation of most cal's other than the real odd ones. Literally tons of surplus 7.62X39 and just noticed a stack of 45ACP that would keep most shooters busy for a long time.

    Powder is the problem here now, not much of anything available.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Can´t remember when I last purchased factory made ammunition. And even if I wanted to, 7.65 Para is hardly ever available here any more and re-loading´s the only way I can shoot my Werder (Kurz) cartridges. I do 9mm Para and .308 just for the fun of it but suspect that mine are somewhat better than what other people bring along to the range. They´re always keen to get hold of my ammo.
