    1942 vintage M2 Ball

    I bought this recently and thought that Yall might like to see it. It was made in Salt Lake City in 1942. Does anyone know what the value of this would be?

    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.

    The Utah Ordnance Plant was operated by the Remington
    Arms Company under contract with the federal government. The
    plant was under construction in 1941 and began operation in
    early February, 1942 During the years of 1942 and 1943, the
    ordnance plant was In full operation. From December 1943 to
    late 1946, the plant was on standby status.

    Don't see many of these lately, the can has been opened so premium price is no longer possible for a single whole purchase. You can piece-meal the boxes, I know I don't have one of these.
    And finally Ozark Surplus is selling the same item for $20 a box.

    I paid $15 each for 10 boxes. I thought that they were unusual enough to pay that. I have enough Greek M2 to shoot in my Garandicon and I would only shoot these in my Eddystone.
