$5 Used GI 15 rounders

**Tom in N.J.** · 10-28-2009 09:50 AM

.. M1

carbine ammo came packed in bandoleers of 10 round stripper clips. Easy to handle full clips. No lose rounds to get dirty and loose. And the 10 round clip fits neatly in one of the magazine pockets of the two mag pouch.

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.

Tom, I know it came on 10 round stripper clips, so that it was easier. I have a few spam cans.

Just think 10 rounds in a 15 round mag is short sighted. Then again you were probably not going into an alert situation.

I believe that the spam cans were used mostly after WW2 and were for 30 rounders, though my dad did refer to having to "break" clips in half to finish filling magazines on Iwo. He had a transitional Inland M1 icon

Makes good sense, 3-10 round stripper clips would load faster in a 30 round mag.

Old timer's fat finger computer dyslexia. Should be "15 rounders" Hahahaha!

I got a foreign made 40 rounder in a trade for a bunch of M1 icon

carbine mags one time. It was flimsy (no front crimp, just a bump), and would not even load more than about 32 rounds before the follower bound up. JUNK! I never bothered trying to fire it, as I did not want to waste the ammo on the aggravation

Does the seller have any magazines left? I checked AA but couldn't find him, I could use a few. Thanks!
