    I think that is probably true for the well-used barrels with 'cordite erosion' half way up the barrel, but there are still a good number of 'lightly used' LE's about

    By the late 40s I think that Cordite was well on its 'way-out' and MKVIIZ had been introduced. Cordite rounds finally ceased production in the UKicon in the early 60s.
