    More I think about it... I might go back and buy the opened box as well.. not that I need it.. maybe put one or two rounds down the Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 aka 'Jungle Carbine' I will be picking up Friday (California 10 day waiting period will be over - I did not put this one on my Type 3 FFL)

    When you've done that you may feel that you need to complete the package with the purchase of an appropriate aircraft, a Spitfire.

    So, are you wondering if that's why they chose the number "48" for the cardboard boxes? I know we've discussed it before here.

    No but then you have loose rounds to sell guys for their collections. You only need one for your own and a couple loose to try on a steel plate.

    If they still have them on Friday and I'm able to get them. Anyone here would be welcome to one or two for their collection at cost plus shipping if wanted. Never mailed ammunition so I would have to figure that out.

    I think it would have to go by a courier, dangerous goods. Here anyway. Don't think shipping a couple will be very cost effective, in the US your rules might be different. Gunshow sales for sure.
