    I recieved some .45acp from a friend

    An old friend of mine was cleaning out her garage and found this can of ammo. She called me and said I should come over and get it and boy was I surprised when I opened the can. I thought it was probably some assorted bullets being stored in an old ammo can but the writing on the can was correct. She said I should have it to go with the 1911 I bought from her that belonged to her husband. I tried to pay her but she would not have it. It will be hard not to shoot it up!

    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.

    I wouldn't hesitate, I'd be off to the firing point. Maybe not through say...a Thompson or M3. But definitely a 1911 or A1. That's what it's for.

    Don't believe I've ever seen a full ammo can of .45 Match ammo before! Might as well shoot it, though.
