    1943 Albion No.2 Mk.1** - old warhorse in surprisingly good condition

    Got a matching 1943 Albion No.2 Mk.1** delivered to my door yesterday (the joy of having a C&R license). The bore looks mint, and there is only a small amount of holster wear.

    Of course, I can't get ammo or the parts for reloading, but apart from that I am happy

    I am also picking up a 1942 Enfield No.2 Mk.1** on Friday for $200. I will post pics when I get 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.

    Why can't you get the reloading supplies ? Just the O'bama thing going on now or other things ?
    I reload the .38/200 for my victories with lead 200 gr .358 bullets , but .360 bullets for English bores are offered , too.
    Standard .38 S&W dies / shellholder and Win. 231 powder .

    These seem to work OK. Old thread about it. Probably a couple of years back. Not sure which Milsurp forum.

    We used to find some real dogs amongs the old Albions. Mind you, some of the Enfields weren't up to much either! But that having been said, one they were set up, timed properly and running/pokering, they were generally as good as gold
