    Crated Ammo

    Any thoughts as to this being a investment?

    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. Brian Dick ...

    At that price Charlie, I would normally say NO! But given the collectibles market and the insane ammo situation, who knows? Wish I'd had the forsight to buy some of those 1080 round tins from CMPicon a few years back!

    Over $1.00 a round, too much for my budget. As collectable who knows.

    How good of a investment that is depends on how long you wanna keep it. Across 20 years probally OK.

    By that time it may not be legal to own "x" amount of ammo or we will have had to shoot it all away defending the Second Amendment. I'd buy what you can actually use, at a shooting price, today. JMHO.
