from 1941 through 1950

Brian, I know you are right about the 1950 date (forgot about that), but wasn't there a hiatus in production. I seem to recall the Long Branch production facility closed down in 1945 and was restarted about 1949 for Korean War production. You and our Canadian Forum Mates would know better than I. Were their doors still open for repair between WWII and Korea? (always happy to stand corrected by the experts)

Here's a question for all of you:

What is the best brand of .303 ammo to use in a lee-enfield and what is the price for them?

If Cheaper than Dirt still has surplus Greek HXP, it's high quality and non-corrosive @ about $.30 per cartridge, plus shipping. Keep the spent cartridges, and reload.

Thanks for all of hte info that you guys have been giving me. It's been really helpful.

I do have a separate question. Is the a bandoleer that would be able to carry both the 303 and 8mm mauser? Like, could a M1 garand bandoleer carry .303 and 8mm mauser?

Most Bandoleers that are cloth will carry about any type of 5 rd clips you have. The M1's cartridge belt is an example of that too...
