Hello fellows.

Who did this Sears ammo? Any experience with them? They're worth it?

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I don't know if it would be great ammunition or not but I always thought Winchester made it for them.that ammo has to at least be from the 1960s or 70s because Sears hasn't sold ammo for a very long time. It's neat to see the old graphics on that box

Collectors ammo...

If I read that price tag right - $4.69 would be about 23.5 cents/round. The "good 'ol days" for sure!

I have half a box of the old Sears 38 special around here somewhere, this makes me kind of want to go shoot it to see how it performs. If I remember correctly my box looks a little different from yours though. I don't know if they had different graphics for different calibers or just different graphics for different years but since yours is a complete box, I would keep it

1st, I'd make sure that the Carbine I was shooting works ok with lead.
Be a shame to find out your carbine doesn't like lead and only have a partial box of vintage Sears ammo.

Hola Carlito,

Do you mean that my carbine may don't perform as should or like the soft point?

I'm suggesting sell it to collectors and buy new ammo.
