Does anyone know if the m6 scout (18" barrels) can safely fire the 45 long colt cartridge. Thanks

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.

I don't know if it's safe but manys the man has told me they fire 45 Colt through .410 shotgun. Haven't tried it myself...

.410 shotgun shells can be fired in a 45-70 or in a LONG chambered (2 1/2 or 3") 45 Colt firearm, but the reverse is just asking for dramas. You will be swaging a 0.452 to 0.456" bullet down to 0.410" THEN if the bore's choked down even more! Swaged bullets would be bad, cast would be worse and jacketed worse still.
