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 got that really fast, years ago the 12,7x108mm was called the 51 cal Russian icon

Can you tell who manufactured this 12,7 mm cartridge by the headstamp ?Attachment 53030

**browningautorifle** · 05-21-2014 12:09 PM

Well, Kynoc, Frankfurt Arsenal and the Russian icon

is a mystery as most of their markings are to me...factory number 64...and I can't find it. Has it been re-designated?

While testing a Nikon Coolpix camera, I took this photo of some British icon

military cartridges over the past 100 years plus, should not be difficult to ID all these cartridges ?

The 12.7x108mm cartridge is Chinese ? I thinkAttachment 53044

Just being a bit pedantic BAR and others, it's BOYS and not BoyEs.

Don't think the second one is a 30-40 Krag icon

Jim, necks too short. It's a 303 but I'm not sure of the Mark. The tip looks a bit flat so maybe Mk.IV or V HP.

I sort of thought that too. It sort of looks like a Dum Dum round. Big 217 gr...
