    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I asked Ellwood Epps (Orillia) if they had any surplus x39 and x54R
    Case of 1,120 of x39 was 179.99
    Case of 800 of 54R was 269.99
    It's Czechicon surplus

    Not sure of the number of cases available. I haven't been able to find any 303 surplus anywhere in Canadaicon sadly

    Surplus .303 hasn't been commercially available in Canada for years. Your best bet is gunshows, but expect to pay at least $.50 a round, if not more.

    As far as 7.62 NATO goes, there's still places that have the South African stuff available. Prices for it seem to be anywhere from $.50 to $.85 each. Marstar has Norinco 7.62 NATO coming next month at $500/1000, IIRC. I heard there was an ad in Canadian Access to Firearms listing Germanicon GECO 7.62, but I can't remember any of the details.

    The last Orangville gun show had .303 for sale.

    .303 british surplus was $25 for 32 rds

    .303 made by FN was $75 for 100 rds.

    I see Marstar is taking orders for what they list as Norinco .308. Has anyone fired this before. Are they any good?

    With tax and shipping it will work out to be about $.60 a round. Is that a decent price and should I be stocking up as I have a Norinco M14S on order?

    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, I may be able to retire on my .303 hoard (I wish).

    The Norinco 7.62 NATO has a good reputation, if somewhat smelly to shoot. Is it a decent price, only you can decide. Two years ago FNM and Hirtenberger were $300/1000. These days, $500 and up is the going rate for surplus 7.62 NATO. I wouldn't pay that much, but I'm cheap and on a budget.

    I've only got 2k of FNM for my N14 so I don't shoot it much. I bought a CZ858 for a range blaster to take advantage of the cheap 7.62x39 that's available right now.
